To ask the Scottish Executive what the cost will be in each year from 2010-11 onwards for which information is available to (a) each NHS board, (b) each local authority and (c) the remainder of the Scottish block grant of the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s decision to increase employers’ national insurance contributions by 0.5% from 2011.
Answer
Employers and employees'' National Insurance contributions are to increase by a further 0.5% from 1 April 2011. This is in addition to the 0.5% increase from 1 April 2011 announced at PBR 2008. In total, this will mean an estimated additional pressure on Scottish Budgets from 2011-12 of approximately £104 million.
The estimated additional costs on individual areas of the public sector are £36 million for NHS, £57 million for local government, £10 million for the police and fire services and £1 million for the Scottish Government.
