About public services disclosure
The Public Services Reform (Scotland) Act 2010 ("the Act") received Royal Assent in April 2010. It contained a number of provisions for the restructuring of Public Sector organisations in Scotland and set up powers for Scottish Ministers to improve the exercise of public functions. It also imposed duties on Scottish Ministers and listed public bodies (including NHS Highland) to publish information on expenditure and other matters on an annual basis.
Under the Act’s information provisions, NHS Highland must publish annually the following information. Section 31 disclosures are:
- expenditure incurred in the financial year on public relations
- expenditure incurred in the financial year on overseas travel
- expenditure incurred in the year on hospitality and entertainment
- expenditure incurred in the year on external consultancy (including that incurred on construction or infrastructure projects)
- expenditure payments in excess of £25,000 - not including remuneration
- the number of employees receiving remuneration in excess of £150,000
Expenditure payments over £25,000 in earlier financial years
