§ Ms PrimaroloTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what has been the cost for each of the last three years of rail travel(a) in total and (b) to and from London for Leeds-based personnel of the NHS Management Executive.
§ Mr. SackvilleInformation is not available in this form.
In 1991–92, before relocation, the National Health Service Management Executive spent a total of £577,000 on all travel and subsistence.
In 1992–93, when the executive was operating from Leeds and London, the spend was £1,374,000. The executive is now operating from Leeds and provisional figures show that £353,000 was spent on all travel and subsistence in the first three months of the current year.
The distribution of functions between the executive and the rest of the Department has varied from year. to year and therefore expenditure between years is not directly comparable.
§ Ms PrimaroloTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how many NHS Management Executive personnel based in Leeds have been provided with first-class rail season tickets to London; and what is the cost of those tickets in the current year.
§ Mr. SackvilleThree first-class season tickets have been provided at an estimated cost of £29,400.
