--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Greg Mulholland To ask the Secretary of State for Health which NHS trusts propose to declare interest payments on the loans given on 22 March 2007 on their end of year balance sheets in future financial years. Mr. Bradshaw National health service trusts declare interest payable on the loans issued on 22 March 2007 in their annual financial statements under the ‘Interest Payable’ heading on the face of the Income and Expenditure Account, and provide a more detailed breakdown of this figure in the associated note to the financial statements. Greg Mulholland To ask the Secretary of State for Health which NHS trusts in receipt of loans issued on 22 March 2007 (a) included the loans on their end of year balance sheets for the financial year 2006-07 and (b) propose to include the loans on their end of year balance sheets for 2007-08. Mr. Bradshaw Under national health service accounting policies, as set out in the NHS finance manual, NHS trusts are required to include the outstanding value of loan principal on their balance sheets from the time the loan is issued until such time as the principal is fully repaid. Greg Mulholland To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the total annual interest payable on the £777.881 in loans issued to NHS trusts on 22 March 2007 will be. Mr. Bradshaw The total interest payable in 2007-08 on the £777.881 million of loans issued to national health service trusts on 22 March 2007 is £38.705 million. The interest payable each year is calculated on the outstanding value of loan principal, and therefore reduces in future years as loan principal is repaid.
