Building Costs

HC Deb 13 December 1965 vol 722 cc199-200W

74. Mr. Wood

asked the Minister of Health by how much the cost of hospital building has risen in the 12 months from October, 1964, to October, 1965.

Mr. K. Robinson

It is not possible to give precise figures. Costs of new building generally have risen by about three per cent., but as the Hospital Building Note Cost Allowances have not been changed, the increase in the cost of hospital building is much less.
