§ Simon HughesTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what the backlog maintenance cost to reach estate code condition was in each English region for(a) NHS trusts and (b) mental health trusts in the last six years. [137367]
§ Mr. Hutton[holding answer 10 November 2003]: The backlog of maintenance should be seen in the context of a National Health Service estate in England comprising 25 million square metres, with a book value of £24 billion and a replacement cost of around £72 billion. Current record investment of £4 billion in 2003–04, rising to over £6 billion in 2005–06, will regenerate the NHS estate and reduce maintenance because by 2040, 40 per cent. of the estate will be less than 15 years old.
The information requested is shown in the tables.
Backlog maintenance covers a wide variety of conditions, including that which is just below compliance standard. The figures provided do not indicate levels of risk to patients. Trusts manage high-risk deficiencies as a priority in order to ensure that premises are intrinsically safe and not of concern to local enforcement bodies.

1. The figure provided for All Trusts include those given for Mental Health Trusts.
2. Owing to changes in structure at all levels in the NHS during the period of the question, direct comparison at regional level between years is not always possible even for organisations with the same name.
3.The figures provided for Mental Health Trusts derive only from those designated by the Department of Health as being exclusively Mental Health and exclude any trusts where Mental Health services only form part of the Trust's defined functions.
