HC Deb 09 December 1991 vol 200 c331W
Mr. Robin Cook

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what is the proportion of originating debt covered by public dividend capital for each of the first wave national health service trusts.

Mr. Dorrell

The proportion will be determined individually for each trust on the basis of their opening valuations. It is likely that in almost every case it will be 50 per cent.—which is the figure trusts have used in their financial assumptions.
