§ Mrs. Helen JacksonTo ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) if the proceeds of health authority land are held at central, regional or local health authority level; and what changes are proposed when the regional authorities are reorganised;
(2) what are the rules governing the use of proceeds from the sale of health authority land;
116W(3) what restrictions are placed on health authorities with regard to the use of capital receipts in their area;
(4) what changes are proposed within the national health service reorganisation to the guidelines for the control of capital receipts;
(5) when health authority land or assets are sold, if the capital receipts are held centrally, regionally or at a local health authority level.
§ Mr. SackvilleRegional health authorities retain capital receipts as additions to their cash limits. Deployment of this resource to support RHA and trust capital programmes is agreed between RHAs and management executive outposts. In the case of assets which provided services for mentally ill people and people with learning disabilities, regions are expected to make sure that priority in the use of such proceeds is given to the development of services for these groups.
No decision has yet been taken on the handling of capital receipts following the proposed abolition of RHAs.
§ Mrs. Helen JacksonTo ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what capital receipts were realised from the sale of health authority land and buildings in the Trent region in 1992–93;
(2) what capital receipts have been raised in the Trent region over the last five years from the sale of land, buildings and assets.
§ Mr. SackvilleThe available information on capital receipts that have been raised/realised is:
Year £ million 1988–89 13.9 1989–90 18.7 1990–91 25.9 1991–92 4.8 1992–93 2.9 No breakdown of these figures into land, buildings and other assets is available centrally.
§ Mr. Kevin HughesTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what will happen to any surplus moneys not spent by district health authorities in the course of the current financial year; and what effect the fact of the DHA being in surplus will have on the calculation of funding allocation for future years.
§ Mr. SackvilleSurpluses at regional health authorities are carried forward. They are not taken into account when subsequent allocations are calculated.
Allocations to district health authorities are made by RHAs and there are some variations in the approaches adopted. The hon. Member may wish to contact the chairmen of the RHAs for further information.
§ Mr. KilfoyleTo ask the Secretary of State for Health who are those people currently appointed to serve on district health authorities.
