Answer
As part of the 2014/15 Capital Budget exercise, my Department successfully bid for £5m under Financial Transactions Capital, split equally between a scheme for Dentists and GPs, with a view to utilising this funding to support investment in premises and equipment across GP and Dental Practices.
While development of the process for implementation of the loan scheme is progressing well, this work has not, as yet, advanced to the point when loans can actually be made.
