HC Deb 28 November 2001 vol 375 c977W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on progress with implementing the recommendation in the "Sold on Health" report; and what savings to public funds(a) are planned and (b) have been achieved. [15760]

Jacqui Smith

"Sold on Health" is a joint report published by the Department and Her Majesty's Treasury in May 2000. The report focused on the whole life cycle issues relating to the estate in the National Health Service, from procurement through its operational management and subsequent disposal.

Substantial progress has been made, and details will soon be available on the Sold on Health website "www.soldonhealth.gov.uk".
