§ Mr. Gordon PrenticeTo ask the Secretary of State for Health for each year since 1987, how much the NHS has paid to district valuation officers for valuation work on NHS land and property assets which are earmarked for disposal.
§ Mr. SackvilleHealth authorities contract individually with the district valuation office for required services. The total of amounts paid are not available centrally.
The valuation office has recently centralised its own records enabling it to set out the total paid by the national health service for services—in England—and has provided the following figures. They include for all services, not just for work in respect of disposals. Information for prior years could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
£ 1991–92 1,131,432 1992–93 831,625 1993–94 1,696,692
