asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the total national financial provision for building projects for (a) National Health Service hospitals and (b) other National Health Service facilities in the financial years 1986–87, 1987–88 and 1988–89.
Information is not available in the form requested. The table shows the provision for hospital and community health services capital and other National Health Service capital for 1986–87 and 1987–88 and planned provision for 1988–89. Allocations are not aligned to particular projects. Their deployment and the use of income generated locally from the sale of surplus land and buildings is a matter for individual spending authorities.
