HC Deb 30 October 1989 vol 159 c35W
Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what was the total cost of backlog maintenance for National Health Service properties in Wales, and by health authority, for the latest available year; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Grist

This information is not held centrally. However, district health authorities in Wales are required to review the condition of their stock annually and for 1988–89, it was estimated that it would cost about 132.7 million to bring the whole of the NHS Estate in Wales to a standard where it was exhibiting only minor deterioration. This sum may be broken down by district health authority as follows:

DHA £ million
Clwyd 19.2
East Dyfed 4.5
Gwent 14.6
Gwynedd 10.0
Mid Glamorgan 26.4
Pembrokeshire 0.7
Powys 1.2
South Glamorgan 45.0
West Glamorgan 11.1
