Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the annual maintenance budget for each NHS mental health trust in England was in each of the last five years. [133848]

Mr. Hutton

The annual maintenance budgets for national health service mental health trusts is not centrally collected.

Data for the last five years on the annual spend on maintenance costs (including engineering, building and grounds and garden maintenance costs) has been placed in the Library. Validation of the data given for 2002–03 remains subject to amendment.

These figures include: Costs associated with the provision of engineering, building and ground and gardens maintenance.

remedy significant concerns as quickly as possible. This is reflected in the very small numbers of injuries and deaths arising as a result of fires and reportable health and safety incidents in national health service hospitals in England, despite the very high numbers of people who use healthcare premises.

Spending on routine maintenance by mental health trusts reached £41 million in 2002–03 with an additional £60 million having been spent between 1998 and 2001. Improvements to health and safety and fire safety will result from the current priorities and planning framework targets for reducing the backlog of maintenance.

Labour costs for directly employed and contract staff including contract support costs, fees, materials, and; Pay elements for senior managers and all associated staff where involved in maintenance; Expenditure relating to the employment of staff belonging to an external organisation (including private finance initiative work); Capital works involving adaptations, improvements and/or alterations are not included.

The trusts listed in the table are those defined as mental health and exclude any trusts where only a minority of services relate to mental health.
