§ Mr. CryerTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will list the national health service hospitals closed for each year since 1980; to what subsequent use the sites have been put; and what revenue was gained from these.
§ Mr. SackvilleSince 1980–81 some £1,540 million has been generated by health authorities from the sales of surplus land and property. This money has been reinvested in hospital building contributing to the largest capital programme in the history of the national health service. Information on individual hospital closures is not available.
