HC Deb 07 March 1990 vol 168 cc636-41W
Mr. Robert G. Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will publish a table of the numbers of laundry, cleaning, catering and security contracts awarded in-house and externally each year since 1983 in each health authority in England and Wales.

Mr. Freeman

Information held centrally is readily available in the form requested only on a regional health authority basis and is shown in the tables. It represents the results of the initial tendering exercises undertaken following the launch in late 1983 of the Government's competitive tendering initiative for domestic, catering and laundry services.

Similar information is not held centrally for other services.

The information relating to Wales is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales.
