HC Deb 14 July 1977 vol 935 cc222-3W
Mr. Watkinson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what was the value of second-hand equipment sold by the Gloucestershire Area Health Authority in each year since its formation.

Mr. Moyle

I regret this information is not held centrally. I will write to my hon. Friend.

Mr. Watkinson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has plans to recommend to local area health authorities how best they can dispose of equipment which is no longer in use.

Mr. Moyle

Advice was last issued to all health authorities in January 1976 on the disposal of such equipment. I am sending a copy to my hon. Friend.
