HC Deb 24 February 1995 vol 255 c372W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the circumstances in which clawback arrangements will apply to urban investment grants paid or part-paid both directly by his Department and by the Cardiff Bay development corporation.

Mr. Redwood

Each development assisted with urban investment grant is assessed for potential clawback liability, either when the developer disposes of it, or after five years, whichever comes first. If the value of the development has increased in real terms, discounting any inflation in the building cost index, clawback will be payable. The rate of clawback will usually be the rate of the urban investment grant which was awarded.

Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the aggregate level of savings achieved by general practitioner fundholders in each family health services authority in the years 1991–92, 1992–93 and 1993–94.

Mr. Redwood

The information requested is as follows:

FHSA 1991–92 1992–93 £000 1993–94 £000
Clwyd nil 24 1845
Dyfed nil nil 239

Gwynedd nil nil 113
Mid Glamorgan 40 139 414
Powys nil 136 876
South Glamorgan nil 19 219
West Glamorgan nil 38 459

Note:

1Included are savings in respect of pilot projects. These were £36,000 in Powys in 1992–93. In 1993–94 they were £8,000, £80,000 and £13,000 in Clwyd, Gwent and Gwynedd respectively. All such savings were surrendered and reallocated by the Department for Health spending generally.

In accordance with regulations all savings are available for spending on patient care.

Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many GP fundholders have submitted their fundholder health plans to the relevant family health services authority.

Mr. Redwood

I understand that nine out or 10 GP fundholders in Wales have submitted health plans to family health services authorities, and that the remaining fundholders are expected to do so shortly.

Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many general practitioner fundholders have so far been removed from the scheme and for what reasons.

Mr. Redwood

None.
