§ Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked the Secretary of State for Social Services for what purpose an open market valuation is being placed on Dovenby hospital in Cumbria.
§ Mr. John PattenThe report on underused and surplus property in the National Health Service—published in January 1984 — recommended that all NHS property should be valued as part of a wider exercise to create a comprehensive estate data base. I understand that the valuation of Dovenby hospital follows that recommendation.
§ Mr Campbell-Savoursasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many offers have been made or expressions of interest shown by private interests in the site or parts of the site of the Dovenby hospital in Cumbria.
§ Mr. John PattenWe do not have this information. The hon. Member may care to contact the West Cumbria health authority.
