Defence Medical Services expenditure in the Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey constituency is centred on the Army Primary Healthcare Services (APHCS) Medical Centre at Fort George, home to the 3 Scots Regiment.
APHCS expenditure on the medical centre for the previous three financial years is provided as follows. These exclude costs in such areas as infrastructure and utilities (as well as some staff), which are the responsibility of regimental and other MOD internal budgets. As a result of departmental reorganisations, costs for previous years are not readily available and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
FY Material and treatment costs Staff capitation costs Total APHCS costs 2007-08 51 145 196 2008-09 91 148 239 2009-10 (to 17 December 2009) 57 150 207
Armed forces personnel requiring medical treatment that cannot be provided by the primary care medical centre will either receive it at military-run facilities outside the Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey constituency centres, or for the majority of secondary care, at local NHS hospitals, such as the Raigmore acute general hospital in Inverness.
