§ Mr. Robin CookTo ask the Secretary of State For Health what was the total level of hospital and community health services net capital expenditure, excluding receipts from land and property sales in(a) cash, (b) constant prices adjusted by the gross domestic product deflator and (c) constant prices adjusted by the changes in the input unit costs since 1973–74.
§ Mr. Waldegrave[holding answer 17 June 1991]: The information requested is given in the table. In order to give a complete picture of capital investment in the NHS, spending financed through property and land sales is also shown as this is a valuable extra resource which health authorities are able to retain and spend in addition to their cash limits.

Note:
Because of transfers between programmes it is not possible to produce a consistent run of figures over the whole period. Figures in presentation A have been adjusted to reflect the transfer to HCHS of FHS administration, disablement services authority and FHS cash limited spending and for the redefinition of capital. The figures in presentation A do not reflect these transfers and are therefore not comparable with those for later years.
