HC Deb 28 April 1987 vol 115 c105W
Mr. Pike

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will report on progress on hospital construction within the North Western regional health authority area; which programmes have been delayed; and if he will make a detailed statement regarding each such delay.

Mrs. Currie

In the North-Western region, there are 77 health building schemes each costing over £1million at various stages of planning, design and construction. The total value of this programme which will make a major contribution to the National Health Service estate in the region is estimated at £500 million.

Responsibility for the management of this capital programme lies with the North-Western regional health authority. The hon. Member may therefore wish to pursue any inquiries with the chairman of the authority.
