Repair and Maintenance

Dr. Evan Harris: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the outstanding repair and maintenance backlog figures were in each health authority in each of the last two years. [36077]

Mr. Hutton: Figures collected which generally reflect the cost of outstanding repair and maintenance of hospitals is known as the Xcost to achieve Estatecode condition B". In relation to a building's physical condition this is the condition whereby the property is considered to be physically sound, operationally safe and exhibits only minor deterioration.

The table shows costs to achieve Estatecode condition B (physical condition) for the year 1999–2000, grouped into each health authority in England, in column 1. Similar costs for the year 2000–01 in column 2 are still in the process of collection and validation. Where figures have been received they have been included, gaps having been filled with extrapolated estimates based on the previous year's return.

1 Mar 2002 : Column 1606W

Special Health Authorities (SHA), figures are only collected in connection with Special Hospitals and therefore exclude costs relating to all other SHA organisations (e.g. Family Health Services Appeal Authority, Commission for Health Improvement, NHS Information Authority).

Last year's returns (1999–2000) saw the total backlog reduce for the first time since 1994–95. Whilst this year has seen a small increase, backlog maintenance costs are holding relatively firm when taking into consideration that the collection of data from Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) has probably introduced a number of properties whose backlog maintenance costs were not identified in previous returns. The continuation of major capital investment in new buildings, and improvements to existing buildings, should see the level of backlog maintenance costs begin to fall again over the coming years.

Dentistry

Mr. Breed: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the (a) percentage of the NHS budget and (b) amount of money invested in NHS dentists, broken down by health authority, in (i) 1979, (ii) 1992, (iii) 1997 and (iv) 2001 or the most recent available date was.[36391]

Ms Blears: Table 1 shows the total gross and net spend on general dental services and the proportion that national gross and net general dental service expenditure represented of national gross and net National Health Service expenditure for the years 1979–80, 1992–93, 1997–98 and 2000–02.

General Dental Services expenditure for 1979–80 is not available at health authority level.

Table 2 gives General Dental Service gross and net fees after deductions of patient charges by Family Health Service Authority in 1992–93.

In April 1996, FHSAs were replaced by health authorities. Table 3 gives General Dental Service gross and net fees by health authority in 1997–98 and 2000–01.

Fee expenditure covers dentists' claims for treating patients and patient registration payments. It excludes some other payments to dentists where breakdown by health authority is not collected centrally, for example reimbursement of practice rates.

Figures for all GDS payments are included in table 1 and this explains why the totals in table 1 are higher than those in tables 2 and 3.

Funding for community and hospital dental services is not collected centrally.

Personal dental services spend has also been omitted as PDS are a relatively recent innovation and data cannot be provided for all the years in question.
