To ask the Scottish Executive which museums and galleries are in receipt of funding from central government.
Answer
The Executive is responsible for providing financial support to the National Museum of Scotland and the National Galleries of Scotland. Apart from exceptional short-term support from the Executive, the funding of other museums is the responsibility of those who own and operate them. However, local authority museums are funded from the Grant Aided Expenditure provided by the Executive.

To ask the Scottish Executive how many hospitals have been sold in the Greater Glasgow Health Board area since 1981, how much has been raised from any such sales and how has the money been spent.
Answer
The Executive has provided national guidance to Trusts and boards about the disposal of surplus land. The underlying principle is that patient care should benefit from this resource. Specific information about a health board's disposals can be obtained direct from the health board. The detailed information requested can be obtained from Greater Glasgow Health Board.
