HC Deb 20 July 1990 vol 176 c765W
Sir Norman Fowler

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what is his estimate of the amount which has now been raised within the national health service, for the sale of surplus land since 1979; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Dorrell

Sales of surplus National Health Service property from 1979–80 to 1989–90 inclusive have realised a total of approximately £1.1 billion. This money has been retained by health authorities for reinvestment in the service.
