To ask the Scottish Executive how much has been spent on training nurses to specialise in treating colitis and Crohn’s disease since 1999.
Answer
The total funding,spent on training nurses specialising in Colitis and Crohn’s disease since 1999, is not known by the Scottish Executive.
The Executive doesnot directly manage the care of Colitis and Crohn’sdisease, or any other chronic illnesses. Services for long-term conditions are forNHS boards to plan and to fund from the unified budgets which are made availableto them from the Executive. NHS boards are responsible for planning services intheir area based on clinical need and for securing and training the staff neededto deliver them. The Scottish Executive hasno power to intervene in their decisions.
