Question 3. Of the extra money available each year, what has it been spent on? How much of the extra funds available each year has been spent on wages, capital expenditure, drugs, clinical negligence, compensation new staff etc? (Please can we have as detailed a breakdown as possible)

Question 4 a and b a) How many hospitals have opened? How many hospitals have

closed? What has been the net gain/loss of hospitals? b) How many new hospitals are standing empty? How many

The data to answer these questions is not collected. Data will exist at individual health board level on the volume of drugs collected for destruction from pharmacies and the cost of that destruction, not all of which will be unavoidable wastage.

Independent Sector Funding The allocations from the Scottish Executive to NHS Boards to purchase additional capacity in the independent sector is split by financial year in the table below. This includes the commitment in Fair to All, Personal to Each (2004) of £45 million over 3 years. Independent Sector Funding Allocated to Boards

2002/3 2003/4 2004/5 2005/6

6 b) Please provide the number of prescribed drugs which have been returned and destroyed (per year). What has been the cost of these returned and destroyed drugs (per year)? How much has "waste medicine" cost the NHS?

Question 7. How much NHS money each year has been spent in the independent sector (in £s and % increase each year)? from 1997/98 to latest data available?

£6.9m £10.3m £7.6m £12.8m NHS Boards also purchase further independent health care sector capacity in addition to this. Contracting Boards contract with independent sector providers directly, although the Executive, through the National Waiting Times Unit, has had a key role in coordinating value for money indicative prices on behalf of NHS Boards. Waiting Times The independent sector has had a role to play in the substantial progress that has been made in reducing waiting times for patients across Scotland. The latest figures show the number of patients with a guarantee who had waited more than 18 weeks for a first outpatient appointment, hospital inpatient or day case treatment are now at the lowest levels ever recorded.

Question 8. How much money has been spent on I.T. projects (central and local) each year from 1997/98 to latest year data available?

The SEHD carried out a one-off survey of local spend in 2002/03 but this proved resource-consuming and difficult mainly because of differences in definition of what constituted IM&T spend. Its best estimate of spend by NHS boards is £50 million in 2006/07. It now intends to review the recording of local financial data.

All Specialities

Question 9. How many extra hospital beds have been made available each year from 1997/98? If possible, can we have a break down (acute, maternity etc) And Question 10. Please can we have figures of bed occupancy rates each year since 1997/98?
