§ Mr. David MarshallTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many times the Greater Glasgow health board has moved its head office during the last three years; what has been the total cost involved in these moves; what was the cost of obtaining, fitting out, equipping and stone cleaning 112 Ingram street; and what was the cost of transferring the accounts, finance and wages departments from Ingram street to other premises.
§ Mr. Michael Forsyth[holding answer 23 October 1990]: Greater Glasgow health board has made only one major relocation of its head office in the past three years.
The total cost was £1.25 million; this includes a cost to the board of £0.62 million for work at Ingram street and of £0.46 million for transferring certain departments. The changes will release savings of £2.9 million on revenue expenditure from January 1989 to June 1992. These savings will be used to improve patient care for the population of Greater Glasgow.
