§ Lord Balnielasked the Minister of Health whether he will list the projects in each regional hospital board area on which the capital allocation for hospital building for 1965–66 will be spent.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonThere are some thousands of these and to list all would involve a disproportionate amount of238W staff time. Appendix IV to the Estimate for the Vote for the National Health Service,etc. (Hospital Services, etc.), England and Wales, 1965–66, already lists the schemes in progress on which £200,000 or more is estimated to be spent in 1965–66 and the schemes costing more than £250,000 which it is proposed to start in the year.
§ Lord Balnielasked the Minister of Health how the total sum of £68 million, allocated for hospital building in 1965–66, will be divided amongst the different individual regional hospital boards and boards of governors of teaching hospitals throughout the country; what was the comparable figure for 1964–65; and what is the percentage increase for each board.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonThe information for 1965–66 is set out in Appendix I to the Estimate of the Vote for the National Health Service, etc. (Hospital Services, etc.), England and Wales, 1965–66; comparable figures are set out in Appendix I to the Estimate for the similar Vote for 1964–65; because of the different starting dates of the larger schemes, short-term comparisons may be misleading.
