HC Deb 16 July 1985 vol 83 cc137-8W
Mr. Gerald Howarth

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list for each of the years 1978, 1982 and 1984 the number of doctors, nurses, ancillary and administrative staff employed by the South-East Staffordshire district health authority.

Mr. John Patten

I shall let my hon. Friend have a reply as soon as possible.

Mr. Gerald Howarth

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list the amount spent on capital projects since 1979 by the South-East Staffordshire district health authority.

Mr. John Patten

Health authorities are required to submit capital schemes for departmental approval only if they cost more than £5 million. Detailed information on smaller capital schemes is not therefore held centrally and my hon. Friend may wish to write to the chairman of south east Staffordshire health authority for the figures requested.
