§ Mr. ChisholmTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how the £30 million for capital expenditure in the health service, announced on 9 October, was distributed among trusts; and which trusts have asked for it to be converted into revenue. [4702]
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonThe £30 million of capital expenditure announced on 9 October has been distributed on a formula basis. This is a formula devised by the management executive which takes into account trust turnover, building depreciation and equipment depreciation.
None of these funds will be transferred to revenue.
