HC Deb 11 May 1989 vol 152 cc495-6W
Mr. Robin Cook

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will give detail of each capital project costing more than £1 million(a) actually under construction and (b) at the proposal or planning stage; if he will give the estimated date of completion for each project; and if he will break this list down by each regional health authority.

Mr. Freeman

Information held centrally on health building schemes, each costing over £1 million, in England shows that there are at present 503 schemes at various stages of planning, design and construction. I have arranged for a list of the schemes with, where available, their expected dates of completion, to be placed in the Library. It is too early to forecast a date of completion for schemes at the programme stage prior to submission for approval in principle.

Mr. Robin Cook

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will give, for each regional health authority, details of proposed capital developments costing more than £1 million which have been cancelled for each year since 1979.

Mr. Freeman

I regret that comprehensive information is not available centrally on the adjustments made by health authorities to their capital programmes over this period.
