The question
To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-6113 by Susan Deacon on 8 May 2000, whether it can explain why the NHSiS capital expenditure on the provision or replacement of equipment by Argyll and Clyde Health Board fell, in real terms, from #5.893 million in 1994-95 to #1.671 million in 1998-99.
The answer
It is for individual health boards and NHS Trusts to determine annually the level of funding required for new and replacement medical equipment taking into account other local priorities. Health boards and NHS Trusts can use both capital and revenue resources to meet equipment costs.Further information on local spending decisions can be obtained from Argyll and Clyde Health Board.
