Mr. Dorrell
On 31 March 1990 (the latest information available) the cost of bringing the NHS estate to an overall condition which exhibited only minor deterioration was estimated to be £1.8 billion. The information by health authority is shown in the tables and includes property due to be replaced within three years, property not used for patient care, property awaiting planned preventive maintenance and property awaiting disposal. These four types of property together represent about 30 per cent. of the total NHS estate. In 1982 a report "Underused and Surplus Property in the NHS" saidIt is clear that the backlog has accumulated over very many years
and estimated that the cost of the work required to bring property in England up to an acceptable standard would be of the order of £2.9 billion, at 1990 prices.
Between 1979–80 and 1990–91 capital spending in the NHS rose by 62 per cent. in real terms. About 77 per cent.
501W
of the resources allocated to NHS capital are invested in the estate and in the current year over 400 building projects each costing over £1 million are at various stages of planning, design and construction. The capital building programme for 1991–92 exceeds £1 billion.
