The following table shows the proportion of the health budget allocated specifically for health improvement initiatives, health promotion and for public health within the health portfolio.
However these only reflect new policy initiatives as much of the total spend on health improvement, health promotion and public health is through NHS boards who allocate significant funding from their baseline budgets to these areas.
These figures are taken from the Budget (Scotland) Act 2009-10 and the Draft Budget (Scotland) Bill 2009-10. Although health improvement, health promotion and public health are not specific categories in the budget documents the figures include those items that are taken to directly relate to them.
