§ Mr. Robin CookTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will give details of assets disposed of by each district health authority during 1987–88; and what was the total value of those assets.
§ Mr. Freeman[pursuant to his reply, 24 April 1989, c. 380]: Details of the assets disposed of by each district health authority are not routinely collected centrally.
However, all health authorities are encouraged to dispose of surplus assets and in many regions it is usual for the relevant regional health authority (RHA) to be involved in the major transactions and to account for the resultant income.
Information derivable from the 1987–88 annual accounts of regional and district health authorities in England and the special health authorities for the London postgraduate teaching hospitals have been placed in the Library.
