Letter from Major General C. G. Callow to Mr. Peter Viggers, dated 29 July 1998:
1. I am replying to your Question to the Secretary of State for Defence about capital expenditure at the Royal Hospital Haslar over the past 10 years as this matter, falls within my area of responsibility as Chief Executive of the Defence Secondary Care Agency.During the financial year 1997/98, £0.939M was expended on capital works. Unfortunately, prior to that financial year, it is not possible to accurately separate capital expenditure from the Hospital's day to day running costs. However, we estimate that capital expenditure costs were approximately:
£ million 1996–97 13.6 1995–96 7.8 1994–95 2.6 1993–94 3.0 1992–93 1.7 1991–92 1.7 1990–91 1.7 1989–90 1.6 1988–89 1.6
