HC Deb 26 October 1990 vol 178 c327W
Mr. David Marshall

To 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.
