Stevenson Welcomes Additional NHS Funding for Grampian

Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson has welcomed the news that NHS Grampian is to benefit from an additional £1.9 million on top of the standard 3.15% increase already allocated to each NHS Board. NHS Grampian will receive a total £21.6 million increase, bringing its annual allocation up to £646.3 million.

The Scottish Government has allocated additional resources to NHS Boards based on a new formula to calculate health funding.
This formula takes greater account of population increases and factors such as pressures on maternity and accident and emergency units.

Commenting, Mr. Stevenson said:

"This is great news for Banff & Buchan. The extra funding for NHS Grampian will help the health board deliver better, faster and more local access to treatment in the area.

“This amounts to a fairer settlement for health boards such as Grampian which has been allocated almost £2 million over and above the average increase due to additional pressures on the region.

“These additional funds will go a long way to improving health services for the people of Banff & Buchan. This is another important step by the SNP Government towards fulfilling its commitment to make Scotland healthier and fairer.”
