Mr. Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many NHS trusts in Scotland have borrowed money from commercial sources and if he will list the sums involved. [6158]

Mr. Forsyth

[holding answer 14 December 1995:]: Currently there are no NHS trusts borrowing on a long-term basis from commercial sources within the private sector. However some NHS trusts may require the use of overdrafts to cover very short-term working capital requirements.
