§ Tim LoughtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment he has made of the cost of office moves resulting from NHS reorganisation in the last three years. [42214]
§ Ms Blears[holding answer 11 March 2002]: The Department has not collected any data which would enable an assessment to be made of the cost of office moves resulting from NHS reorganisation. For example, mergers of NHS trusts may involve the need to consolidate at one of those merged, or new offices entirely. The cost of this is not readily identifiable from trust accounts.
