Total ACT Budget
| Secondary Care | GP-Primary Care | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Costs | £68,309,094 | GP Placement costs (Cat A) | £2,244,044 |
| Travel & Subsistence | £442,113 | GP Teaching costs (Cat B + prep) | £2,135,574 |
| GP Support costs | £2,380,539 | ||
| GP Travel & Subsistence | £340,686 | ||
| Total | £68,751,207 | £7,100,843 | |
Note: The overall total for the two columns is £75,852,050. This may be due to some health boards being unable to use the widening access payment they received at end of 2017/18 financial year. In this context, "widening access payment" refers to 10 contextualised admissions for 5 undergraduate medical programmes per annum currently supported by Scottish Government.
Scenario A - Tariff Increased/ Curriculum unchanged
| New Primary Care Amounts | |
|---|---|
| GP Placement costs (Cat A) | (£2,244,044 x 85/40) = £4,768,593.50 |
| GP Teaching costs (Cat B + prep) | Unchanged = £2,135,574 |
| GP Support costs | Unchanged = £2,380,539 |
| GP Travel & Subsistence | Unchanged = £340,686 |
| Total | £9,625,392.50 |
Total cost of increasing tariff from £40 to £85 (curriculum unchanged) = £2.5 million
