HC Deb 18 January 1979 vol 960 cc901-2W
Mr. Pattie

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list National Health Service capital spending on hospi- tal building at 1977 survey prices in 1977–78; and if he will give his estimate for 1978–79.

Mr. Moyle:

Capital expenditure at 1977 survey prices on NHS hospital building, including fees and equipment purchased centrally was £276 million in 1977–78 and is estimated at £305 million for 1978–79.

These figures are comparable with those provided in my reply to the hon. Member for Windsor and Maidenhead (Dr. Glyn) on 20th July 1978 except that the figure for 1976–77, to exclude joint finance, should be £335 million. [Vol. 954, c. 399–400.
