HC Deb 18 February 1983 vol 37 c291W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list in the Official Report the allocation to be given to each regional health authority to carry out necessary overdue repairs to National Health Service property.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Health authorities are responsible for carrying out repairs to property from the total resources allocated to them. The Government do not make specific allocations out of those resources for this purpose, but we have asked health authorities to give particular consideration to keeping property in proper repair in setting their priorities for expenditure in 1983–84.
