HC Deb 19 February 1998 vol 306 cc851-2W
Ms Roseanna Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many registered epileptics there are in Scotland in each health board area. [29944]

Mr. Galbraith

Information on the number of registered epileptics in Scotland is not available centrally.

Ms Roseanna Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what resources his Department makes available for the treatment of epilepsy, broken down by health board area; and if he will express the figures as a percentage of each health board's expenditure. [29948]

Mr. Galbraith

Resources are not made available to the NHS in Scotland for specific treatments. It is for individual Health Boards to determine their priorities, in the light of local circumstances, from the resources made available.
