HC Deb 04 February 1987 vol 109 cc696-9W
Mr. Canavan

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) whether he will state, for each regional health authority, the allowance made for demographic factors and technical and service developments in determining (a) the total current expenditure and (b) the total capital expenditure for each year from 1979 to date;

(2) whether he will state, for each regional health authority, the difference between the amount requested and the amount actually spent on capital expenditure, broken down by new building and repair to existing capital stock, for each year from 1979 to date.

Mr. Newton

I shall let the hon. Member have replies as soon as possible.

Mr. Canavan

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will state, for each regional health authority, the difference between the amount requested and the amount actually spent on capital expenditure on local authority personal social services, broken down by new building and repair to existing capital stock, for each year from 1979 to date.

Mr. Newton

Available information for England, including separate figures for new construction and works, is set out for the period 1979–80 to 1984–85. the latest year for which we have comprehensive data. An analysis of the figures on a regional health authority basis could be supplied only at disproportionate cost, but the tables provide data by individual local authority for 1984–85.

1 The present capital expenditure control system commenced with effect from 1981–82, and data about bids under the loan sanction system which operated for earlier years are not available on a comparable basis.
2 "New building" and "repair to existing capital stock" figures are not separately identified on local authority capital expenditure return forms.
3 Health authority contributions to jointly financed schemes have been deducted in arriving at the gross spend figures in order to put them on a comparable basis with the bids figures.
4 Separate figures for health authority contributions towards new construction and works expenditure are not available, so the new construction and works figures shown above include health authority contributions to jointly financed schemes.
