HC Deb 10 January 1990 vol 164 cc664-7W
Ms. Harman

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what was the estimated cost of the backlog of maintenance work in each district health authority in England in 1988–89.

Mr. Freeman

[holding answer 8 January 1990]: The first returns of information about the stock of buildings of each district health authority, under the Korner requirements, are now being collected although complete information for all districts will not be available until the figures for 1989–90 are received.

The table of the preliminary information available from 133 health authorities, gives the cost of bringing the NHS estate to an overall condition which exhibits only minor deterioration. It includes property which is due to be replaced within three years, buildings which are not used for patient care, property which is awaiting planned preventive maintenance and property which is awaiting disposal.
