HC Deb 17 April 2002 vol 383 cc1032-3W
Dr. Fox

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what percentage of the value of the NHS Estate is less than 15-years-old. [47824]

Mr. Hutton

[holding answer 10 April 2002]: The current available percentage of the national health service estate, by value, that is less than 15-years-old, as established by the Valuation Office Agency in their survey carried out in the year 2000, is 11.5 per cent.

Implementation of the planned capital investment in the NHS of around £7 billion by 2010 should see the achievement of the NHS Plan target of 40 per cent. of the NHS Estate, by value, being less than 15-years-old by the year 2010.
