HC Deb 17 June 1986 vol 99 cc522-3W
Mr. Hayward

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will identify those capital projects approved in (a) Frenchay, (b) Bristol and Weston and (c) Southmead health authorities since 1979, with an expenditure in excess of £75,000.

Mr. Whitney

Regional health authorities have delegated responsibility for approving capital projects whose works cost does not exceed £5 million. As much of the information requested is not available centrally, my hon. Friend may wish to contact the chairman of the South Western regional health authority for a comprehensive list of approvalsin these district authorities and, before 1982, the Avon area health authority.

We do have information about three schemes approved for construction during the period as follows:

District Scheme Works cost £ million Status
Bristol and Weston Bristol Eye Hospital 4.02 Completed in 1985
Frenchay Frenchay DGH Phase 1 6.72 Building about to start
Southmead Southmead Central Delivery Suite 1.11 Completed in 1985
