Mr. Dobson

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what is the current state of the actions brought against any of the parties over the cardiac block at Great Ormond Street.

Mr. Freeman

All actions brought against parties involved in this case have now been settled.

Mr. Dobson

To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether any of the capital or revenue expenditure increase for 1988–89 over 1982 for the Hospital for Sick Children given in the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State's letter of 29 January to the hon. Member for Holborn and St. Pancras represents spending on the cardiac block at Great Ormond Street.

Mr. Freeman

Health authorities' annual accounts do not separately identify expenditure on specific schemes. The hon. Member may like to consult the authority concerned for this information.
