HC Deb 15 June 2004 vol 422 cc896-9W
Tom Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many new NHS hospital building projects are under way in England and Wales. [177819]

Mr. Hutton

Currently in England there are 117 hospital schemes counting towards the NHS Plan target of 100 new hospital schemes by 2010. 107 will be built under the private finance initiative (PFI). Of the 107, 38 are now operational and a further 22 are under construction. Of the 10 publicly procured schemes, six are now operational and four are under construction.

Since devolution to the National Assembly of Wales, no information is held centrally on the hospital building programme in Wales.

Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the(a) planned and (b) actual dates for each stage of new hospital projects approved by the Department were; when each scheme started on site; and when they reached financial close. [171590]
