Ms Harman

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the capital projects in the NHS with works costs of over £1 million(a) in the primary sector, hospital sector and (b) in total in each financial year since 1990–91; if he will indicate the cost of each project; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Horam

The national health service has invested over £1.594 billion in big building projects over the period 1990–91 to date. The majority of these projects will be in the hospital sector. The information does not distinguish between capital projects in the primary or hospital sectors. For information from 1990–91 to 1993–94, I refer the hon. Member to the reply my hon. Friend the then Under-Secretary for Health gave the right hon. Member for Derby, South (Mrs. Beckett) on 23 February 1995,Official Report, column 329. Information on the spending for each project with a works cost of over £1 million for the financial year 1994–95 will also be placed in the Library.
