§ Mr. HoramThe estimated annual proceeds from the sale of non-national health service trust properties over the next four years is shown in the table, together with an aggregate estimate of sales after 2000. The figures are based on the best estimate of estates advisors to the NHS executive. The estimates are based on current open market values and are liable to change as a result of fluctuations in property market values. Actual proceeds may be subject to considerable variation since many properties scheduled for sale are currently in operational use and the estimates are based on provisional disposal dates.
Estimates of the proceeds from the sale of surplus non-national health service trust properties have been taken into account as capital receipts in the Government's expenditure plans, published as Cm 3212 in March.
