HC Deb 19 January 1972 vol 829 c190W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how much was spent on fire prevention work in National Health Service hospitals in Scotland during 1971, and how this compares with the previous five years.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Expenditure on fire prevention works in National Health Service hospitals in Scotland since 1966–67, so far as this can be separately identified, has been as follows:

£
1966–67 25,200
1967–68 63,700
1968–69 63,600
1969–70 217,800
1970–71 223,000
1971–72 (estimate) 353,700
These figures do not include expenditure on fire prevention included in contracts for general schemes of new construction or structural alterations. Administrative expenditure, such as on training, cannot be separately identified.
