§ Mr. Michael Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what was the level of capital expenditure at Northampton general hospital between 1974 and 1979 and 1979 and 1985.
§ Mrs. CurrieThe Northampton general hospital is the responsibility of Northampton district health authority, which advises me that the appropriate figures are £16,188,000 and £18,670,000 at 1986–87 price levels. These figures exclude expenditure on major medical equipment or computer equipment which cannot readily be identified separately. My hon. Friend might therefore like to contact the chairman of Northampton health authority on these particular points.
