North East Thames Rha

21.

Mr. Spearing
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what proportion of the capital expenditure of the North East Thames health authority he expects it to obtain from sales of land.

Mr. Dorrell
I understand from North East Thames regional health authority that it currently expects that £23·7 million of total capital expenditure by authorities within the region will be funded from land sales. This is equivalent to 23 per cent. of total capital spending.
