Mr. Viggers

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what has been the capital expenditure at the Royal Hospital Haslar and its predecessor the Royal Naval Hospital Haslar in each of the last 10 years. [53022]

Mr. Doug Henderson

This is a matter for the Chief Executive of the Defence Secondary Care Agency. I have asked the Chief Executive to write to the hon. Member.

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
