Question
To ask the Scottish Government what funds it is making available to NHS boards for 2017-18.
Answer
Territorial Boards have been given a general allocation increase of £186 million for 2017-18, an overall average increase over 2016-17 total allocations of 2.1 per cent. This supports additional investment of over £100 million to be directed to Integration Authorities, which will deliver our commitment on the Living Wage and support sustainability in the care sector.
In addition to the figures outlined below, further in-year investment of £128 million will support delivery of service reform.
Special Boards have been given a general allocation increase of 1.1 per cent.
