Lord James Douglas-Hamilton
[holding answer 24 November 1995]: In Scotland, the purchase of hospital, community and family health care is primarily the responsibility of health boards. The tables are based on health board accounts and show expenditure on purchases of health care from private providers, by health board, and by general practitioner fundholders. Expenditure by NHS trusts on purchases from private providers in Scotland is not held centrally.
Health boards also have contracts with local authorities, hospices and voluntary agencies where these organisations are registered charities undertaking specific contracted activities, but information on these is not collected centrally.
