HC Deb 07 July 1976 vol 914 cc609-10W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what has been the total cost of building and equipping Northwick Park Hospital to date; what is the estimate of expenditure on its minor and major capital works for the next three years; and what is the annual cost of running the district hospital and the clinical research section, respectively.

Dr. Owen

The cost to date of developing Northwick Park has been £23 million of which the Medical Research Council has met almost £7 million. Capital expen- diture over the next three years will be negligible unless it is decided to extend the geriatric facilities during that period. The cost of running the district hospital during 1975–76 was £8.8 million; the Clinical Research Centre costs were £3.8 million.
