Ravenspark Hospital (Hansard, 2 December 1996)

§ Mr. Donohoe
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland to which body the capital receipt from the sale of Ravenspark hospital in Irvine will accrue; what is the estimated sale value of the site; and what progress has been made in disposing of the site. [7024]

§ Lord James Douglas-Hamilton
Health board capital receipts from the sale of land and buildings are normally remitted to the management executive and are used to offset the capital programme for the whole of the NHS in Scotland. Cases can be submitted by health boards to retain capital receipts. Each case is judged on its own merits.
The value of the land at Ravenspark hospital in Irvine is dependent on planning permission. Progress will be made in disposing of the site by Ayrshire and Arran health board once a final decision about planning permission has been reached.

§ Mr. Donohoe
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects to make an announcement in respect of the closure of Ravenspark hospital in Irvine. [7044]
