To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-12329 by Susan Deacon on 6 February 2001, how the contracted number of midwifery students at Glasgow Caledonian University was calculated.
Answer
The annual Student Nurse Intake Planning exercise takes into account the overall supply and demand of nurses and midwives in Scotland through a workforce planning survey and modelling exercise. This informs the total number of places for nursing and midwifery students in contracted higher education institutions in Scotland.The total is then divided between the seven institutions, following discussions between the Scottish Executive and the institutions themselves. Year-on-year changes in each institution's intake are usually minimised in the interests of continuity, but the allocations may also take account of factors such as the capacity of each institution and its local NHS partners to provide the education, local NHS demand for qualified nurses and midwives, and local application rates.

To ask the Scottish Executive how much of the #150,000 announced by the Minister for Education, Europe and External Affairs on 20 February 2001 for school Public/Private Partnerships in Glasgow will be spent on Hillhead High School.
Answer
All of the secondary schools managed by Glasgow City Council are being replaced, extended and/or refurbished, according to the needs of each school, under an existing Public/Private Partnership into which the council has already entered, with some financial support guaranteed by the Scottish Executive under an arrangement announced in November 1998.The allocation of £150,000 to Glasgow City Council which I announced on 20 February 2001 is for a different purpose. It is to enable the council, and 20 other authorities who were allocated a share of a total of £5 million, to take forward work on feasibility studies into possible further school PPP projects.
