HC Deb 16 February 1995 vol 254 c816W
Mrs. Beckett

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will list those NHS projects involving private finance initiative which(a) have been completed and (b) are in progress.

Mr. Sackville

I refer the right hon. Member to the reply I gave the hon. Member for Sheffield, Attercliffe (Mr. Betts) on 3 November 1994, column1269, for the latest information available.

Mrs. Beckett

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will list those projects that Newchurch has advised her Department are suitable for private investment.

Mr. Sackville

Newchurch and Co. does not advise the Department on the suitability of projects for private investment.

It was engaged to set up and operate a database and inquiry point. This database provides market intelligence on both new and existing private finance experience in the national health service.
