Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether NHS boards have been advised of their individual financial settlements for 2024-25, and, if so, when they received this funding.
Answer
NHS Boards were informed of their individual baseline budget for 2024-25 on 19 December 2023, the same day as the 2024-25 Scottish Budget.
Their baseline budget is further supplemented by Scottish Government directorate funding allocations throughout the year, to arrive at their revenue resource limit for 2024-25. NHS Boards draw cash from the Scottish Government throughout the year as required.
