To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the district health authorities in Wales which have completed their register of capital assets; and if he will give the number of entries made on each register.

All health authorities with the exception of Clwyd and Gwynedd have completed their capital asset registers. Clwyd health authority has listed all its assets, but some 20 per cent. of its non-property assets have yet to be valued. Gwynedd has listed 95 per cent. of its assets and valued 90 per cent. Details of the numbers of entries included in each register are not held centrally.
