§ Mr. William Priceasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how much money has been allocated to the Birmingham Regional Hospital Board for capital projects during each of the past five years.
§ Mr. AlisonThe capital allocations to the Birmingham Regional Hospital Board during each of the last five years for its main capital programme are as follows:
£ million 1968–69 8.7 1969–70 8.1 1970–71 9.3 1971–72 13.4 1972–73 17.0
§ Mr. William Priceasked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) how much money has been allocated to the Birmingham Regional Hospital Board for 183W capital projects during each of the next five years;
(2) what changes have taken place in the Birmingham Regional Hospital Board's building programme for the period 1975 to 1980.
§ Mr. AlisonCapital planning figures are given to regional hospital boards in confidence, since the figures are provisional and subject to discussion. In general terms the pattern of provision now under discussion shows that the figures rise to a peak in the mid-1970s and thereafter level off at a lower figure which is however still higher than that existing in the late 1960s.
