HC Deb 28 October 1993 vol 230 cc765-6W

Chester Health Authority

Wirral Health Authority

1 Birmingham Heartlands Hospital is to be reconfigured without the requirement to dissolve the existing Trust under guidance issued in TEL(93)1, copies of which are available in Library. Since this is a minor reconfiguration no additional allocations have been made for conveyancing or expenditure incurred during "shadow period". Therefore, an additional allocation of only £13,000 has been made in respect of this Trust to cover the costs of the public consultation exercise.

2 Both these successful applications are existing trusts reconfiguring with directly managed units. Although the costs of public consultation and conveyancing are covered the applicants are only eligible for half of the allocation made to cover expenditure incurred during the shadow period. Therefore, additional allocations of only £147,000 have been made in respect of these two applications.
