Mr. David Nicholson
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many major national health service building schemes have been completed since 1979.
Mr. Dorrell
Since 1979, over 600 building schemes, each costing over £1 million, have been completed. A further 400 such schemes are currently at various stages of planning, design and construction. This is the largest sustained building programme in the history of the NHS.
