HC Deb 12 March 1986 vol 93 c524W
Mr. Chope

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what has been the income received by the Southampton and South-West Hampshire health authority in each of the last 10 years from the disposal of land and buildings.

Mr. Whitney

The information required was not collected centrally in respect of district health authorities until 1982–83. The figures since then are as follows:

£
1982–83 22,292
1983–84 152,605
1984–85 Nil

Mr. Chope

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what was the annual expenditure per person on primary health care in the Southampton and South-West Hampshire district health authority in each of the last five years.

Mr. Hayhoe

Following are the figures requested:

Expenditure per head of population on Primary Health Care* Southampton and South-West Hampshire Health Authority
£
1980–81 61
1981–82 69
1982–83 78
1983–84 82
1984–85 89
* Current expenditure on community health services plus net expenditure on family practitioner services. The latter expenditure cannot strictly be attributed to particular districts but has been included (pro-rata to population) from the annual accounts of the family practitioner committee which accounts for it.

Mr. Chope

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement on the capital projects completed within the Southampton and South-West Hampshire district health authority area in each of the last eight years and their costs.

Mr. Whitney

Information is held centrally only on schemes each costing at least £2 million and is as follows:

  1. (1) Southampton general phase 5 maternity—building and engineering cost £5.4 million —buildingcompletion 1979.
  2. (2) Southampton general phase 5, west ward block—building and engineering cost £6.4 million—building completion 1981.
  3. (3) Royal south Hants phase 2 mental illness unit—building and engineering cost £2.8 million—building completion 1978.

For information on schemes costing less than £2 million I suggest that my hon. Friend contacts the chairman of the Wessex regional health authority.
