§ Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what has been the total of capital expenditure on regional health authorities to date since their inception.
§ Dr. VaughanI regret that information in this form is not readily available, but the annual accounts submitted to the Department show that during the period 1974–75 to 1978–79 capital expenditure of approximately £12 million was incurred by regional health authorities on administrative offices of health authorities. Some part of this expenditure, which is not separately identified in the accounts, but is thought to be small, may have been in respect of administrative offices of other than a regional health authority.
