§ Sir Peter Blakerasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the cost to public funds per patient per week of running the Fairhaven experimental nursing home in Lancashire, including provision for amortisation of cost of construction; and how the amortisation has been calculated.
§ Mr. John PattenThe running costs of the Fairhaven experimental nursing home have been calculated by the district health authority as £231 per patient week, at November 1984 cost levels. Total capital costs for purchase and alterations to the property amounting to £655,000 have not been amortised in that figure.
