To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what was the amount of cash spent on refurbishing the headquarters of the Clwydian Health Trust.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

I understand that some £200,000 was spent in converting the structure of the former hospital building Mancot for use as the headquarters of the Clwydian Community Care NHS Trust. This has enabled the NHS trust to bring together all its headquarters staff with consequential improvements to efficiency.
