asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the estimated cost of redeveloping Edinburgh dental hospital and school.
The estimated cost depends upon the nature and scale of the redevelopment proposed. The joint working party of Edinburgh university and Lothian health board, to which I referred in my answer to the hon. Member for Edinburgh, East (Mr. Strang) on 24 May, at col. 583, considered four redevelopment options. The total costs of these options which would fall on Edinburgh university and Lothian health board, are as follows:
| Options | *Costs (£ million) | |
| Capital | Recurrent | |
| New building, enhanced | 7·845 | 0·239 |
| postgraduate facilities | ||
| New building, typical | 7·286 | 0·231 |
| postgraduate facilities | ||
| Upgrade existing building and | 1·996 | (0·009)† |
| relocate academic | ||
| accommodation | ||
| Upgrade and extend existing | 2·925 | 0·027 |
| building and relocate | ||
| academic accommodation | ||
* Costs are based on 1983–84 levels.
