HC Deb 12 June 1985 vol 80 cc481-6W
Sir John Farr

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish in the Offical Report details of the progress made by district health authorities in England in putting their ancillary services out to competitive tendering, including the savings made to the latest date available.

Mr. John Patten

The position on 31 March 1985 is shown in the tables. We are aware of 66 contracts which have been let to private contractors and these will realise an estimated £104 million in annual savings. Fifty-five tenders have been secured by in-house organisations and these will produce estimated annual savings of £2.7 million.
