HC Deb 22 May 1989 vol 153 cc349-50W
Mr. Growth

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will provide as much information as possible about his Department's expenditure on commercial television advertising, without breaching commercial confidentiality, over each of the past five years.

Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish in theOfficial Report a list of the hospital building projects to be started in this financial year in Wales in each of the health authority areas, with likely starting dates and estimated costs; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Grist

The details requested, which are drawn from capital programmes produced by health authorities, are set out in the following table. They demonstrate a continuing commitment on the part of health authorities in Wales to enhancing and improving health care provision within their respective districts. They do not take into account capital investments on maintenance and upgrading work. Therefore, they represent only a small proportion of the overall capital developments planned by authorities in the coming 10 years.

Mr. Peter Walker

The Department's spending on television advertising during the past five financial years is £20,000. This spending was in the financial year 1988–89 on the Welsh element of the misuse of drugs campaign.
