NHS SPENDING – NORTHERN IRELAND Question 1 a) What is the Annual net expenditure on the NHS from 1997/98 to 2007/08 in Northern Ireland? b) Per head of population 1. Table 1 provides details of total NI expenditure and expenditure per capita.

While this represents the total DHSSPS budget, it cannot be used for

English comparisons. This is because the DHSSPS funds a number of

services that are not funded by the NHS in England. These include:

• Personal Social Services – The bulk of these services are

funded through Local Authorities in England

• Training Bursaries education and Research –funded directly

through DoH, not classed as NHS spend

• Other centrally financed services including welfare foods –

funded from a range of other Government departments

• Grants to Voluntary Bodies – Funded to Bodies directly in

England not through NHS

• North South Bodies – No comparable English budget

Rights from the Department of Social Development to DHSSPS. This is not included in NHS

expenditure. This can be regarded as an artificial uplift as monies were already available in

another Budget.

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)

6b) 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?

A spokesperson for the DHSSPS said: "A number of dump campaigns have been conducted in health boards in Northern Ireland. The medicines returned as a result of this campaign would indicate that the likely cost in terms of wasted medicines is approximately 1% of the drugs budget. However, the actual amount of wasted medicines is likely to be higher."

ICT EXPENDITURE BY DIS, HPSS BOARDS, TRUSTS AND AGENCIES

Note 1: In 2003/2004, the HPSS began implementation of a strategic ICT Programme. The programme of work involves implementation of new ICT systems and infrastructure across the HPSS. The costs associated with the implementation of the programme have resulted in the significant increase in expenditure from 2002/2003 onwards. Note 2: DIS and one Trust provided figures from 99/00 onward as figures are only held for 7 years as required by Audit. A second Trust could only provide figures from 00/01, a third from 01/02, while another 2 had only classified IT equipment as a separate category from 02/03. * - there are still 8 Trusts and Agencies figures outstanding:

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?

The following spreadsheets provide figures on the average available beds and average occupied beds by programme of care for 1997/98-2005/06. The difference from the previous year for each programme of care is also provided.
