HC Deb 28 June 1988 vol 136 cc205-6W
Miss Widdecombe

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the annual maintenance cost of all unoccupied property owned by South East Thames regional health authority and its constituent districts.

Mrs. Currie

[holding answer 23 June 1988]: Property which is unoccupied because it has been declared surplus by the health authority ceases to be maintained. Information about the minimum maintenance required for security purposes or to meet statutory requirements is not held centrally.

Miss Widdecombe

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the value of all empty and unused property in the South East Thames regional health authority.

Mrs. Currie

[holding answer 23 June 1988]: Health authorities provide an annual projection of land sales which showed that in the year 1987–88 South East Thames regional health authority was proposing to dispose of property whose estimated value was £35.9 million. The value realised at the time of sale will depend on the market. Information about the value of all empty and unused property in a regional health authority is not held centrally.
