Information is available for the 3 health care sectors of NHSS:
Hospital Sector - Running Costs
Reports
Hospital expenditure and related activity information is available in a series of reports. The reports are structured to provide three main dimensions of analysis:
(i) Summary reports showing total expenditure for each hospital, and spend and activity by patient type (e.g. inpatients, daycases, outpatients):
R020 [147 KB] - hospital summary (excluding long stay hospitals)
R020LS [243 KB] - hospital summary - long stay hospitals
R025 [61 KB] - board level aggregate of hospital running costs
(ii) Total hospital expenditure is split across specialty and patient type in a series of reports accessed from the link below:
-- Specialty Costs
(iii) Some of the main hospital overheads (such as catering, cleaning and administration) are presented in more detail along with other key elements of hospital running costs (such as staff costs) and across-specialty services such as Radiology:
-- Overhead Costs
-- Theatre Services
-- Radiology Services
-- Laboratory Services
-- Staff
-- Drugs
Definition
Hospital running costs are collected on a series of financial returns (SFR 5s). As well as main hospital locations - such as Glasgow Royal Infirmary with 970 beds - SFR 5s are completed for smaller locations such as Coldstream Cottage Hospital with less than 10 beds. Some services are also provided by hospital-based staff at non-hospital locations such as health centres or local community facilities. For the purposes of the Costs Book, a single set of SFR 5s may be completed to cover all of these non-hospital sites in a board area.

This service is non-hospital based and may be provided in the home, at other residential care settings or in community clinics and includes patient care and other services such as immunisation and health promotion.

R520 [19 KB] - other community services, by board
Data is collected on the SFR 8s. The report and source data files below show a summary of community staff and a breakdown of the main expenditure elements in providing the service:
