Mr. Keith Simpson

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the total planned cost of the Defence Medical center at Birmingham is; and what savings have been identified from its establishment. [166110]

We are currently exploring, in consultation with industry, a number of options for the development of domestic accommodation and the move of all remaining medical training and other functions to Birmingham. Planned costs and potential savings remain subject to evaluation of, and final decisions on, the various options.
