§ Mr. Spearingasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will tabulate in the Official Report the expenditure so far incurred in respect of the projected Newham district hospital under the main items associated with a project of this size.
§ Mrs. Castle :It is only possible to make an approximate estimate of the apportionment of salaries of staff of the North East Thames Regional Health Authority and its predecessors. They are as follows:
£ Architects 95,000 Engineers 98,000 Quantity Surveyors 4,000 Site investigation has cost £10,000.
In addition, a proportion of my Department's expenditure on building research and development might be taken to relate to the Newham project, but it is not possible to calculate the appropriate amount.
