§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for Health why the NHS Estates moved into accommodation off Boar lane, Leeds; what consideration was given to moving 825W into Quarry house, Leeds; what was the cost of the move; and if she will make a statement.
§ Mr. SackvilleThe initial relocation plan was that NHS Estates would relocate to Quarry house with the national health service executive. Because of design and other changes during the construction of Quarry house, there was not enough room to accommodate all the posts concerned, and separate accommodation was taken for the agency in Trevelyan square, Boar lane, Leeds. The transitional costs of the move and the costs of fitting out Trevelyan square were £1.93 million.
§ Lady Olga MaitlandTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what was the outcome of the review of the NHS Estates; and if she will make a statement.
§ Mr. SackvilleThe first review of NHS Estates Agency has recently been completed. I have today placed a summary of the review's findings in the Library.
