To ask the Scottish Executive what percentage of the budget for NHS boards is allocated in recognition of levels of deprivation.
Answer
The Arbuthnott Formulais the result of multiplying a series of indices, and as such there is no specificshare of the budget allocated for deprivation. The formula includes adjustmentsfor the “needs” of the population - based on indices for the age-sex profile andmorbidity and life circumstances of the health boards population. The resultingindex is used along with an index of unavoidable excess costs of delivering servicesto remote and rural areas to determine how much more (or less) resource eachboard requires compared with its basic population share.
