§ Mr. WyattTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how many PCTs have signed head leases on GP surgeries; and if he will make a statement. [85719]
§ Mr. Hutton[holding reply 9 December 2002]: Primary care trusts have delegated authority to enter into head leases and to sublet to general practitioners and other tenants. However, the Department does not collect this information centrally and it is therefore not known how many premises PCTs have signed head leases for which are occupied by GPs or others.
