HC Deb 30 April 1974 vol 872 c405W
34. Mr. Tyler

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will recast her Department's cost control mechanisms for hospitals and other health buildings to encourage design on the principles of long life/loose fit/low energy.

Dr. Owen

My Department's cost control mechanisms seek to ensure the most economical design for health buildings, taking into account not only initial capital costs but also the effect on future costs.
