§ Dr. Evan HarrisTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what the outstanding repair and maintenance backlog figures in each health authority in England are for each of the last two years. [13620]
§ Mr. HuttonFigures collected which generally reflect the cost of outstanding repair and maintenance of hospitals are known as the "cost to achieve Estatecode condition B". In relation to a building's physical condition this is the condition whereby the property is considered to be physically sound, operationally safe and exhibits only minor deterioration.
Costs to achieve Estatecode condition B (physical condition) for the year 1999–2000, grouped into each health authority in England, are shown in the table. Similar costs for the year 2000–01 are still in the process of collection and validation and are unlikely to be available until early next year.
Figures for special health authorities (SHA), figures are only collected in connection with special hospitals and therefore exclude costs relating to all other SHA organisations (for example, Family Health Services Appeal Authority, Commission for Health Improvement, NHS Information Authority).
