Each NHS board receives a general allocation of funds. It is for boards to decide how best to utilise these funds to meet the health care needs of their resident population, including mental health services, taking account of national and local priorities. The proportion of each NHS board’s total net expenditure that they spent on the provision of mental health services in each year since 1999 was as follows:
| 1999-2000 | 2000-01 | 2001-02 | 2002-03 | 2003-04 | |
| Argyll and Clyde | 15% | 16% | 17% | 17% | 16% |
