Mr. Anthony Coombs
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many hospital capital projects have been completed or programmed since 1979.
Mr. Freeman
Information held centrally shows that 448 health building schemes each costing over £1 million have been completed in England since 1979. There are currently 516 such schemes in regions' capital programmes with a total value of over £5 billion of which 141 are under construction. This represents the largest sustained capital investment ever in the NHS.
