The question
To ask the Scottish Executive which hospitals have been sold in each year since 1999; what revenue was raised from any such sales, and how much of this revenue was re-invested in community care packages, broken down by health board area.
The answer
The table details, by health board area, the hospitals and partial hospital sites which have been sold since 1999 and the total capital receipts realised to date from these disposals. Such receipts supplement the level of capital available for investment in NHSScotland and current guidelines indicate that the proceeds from the sale of hospitals and hospital sites should be fully reinvested in improving patient care.Health Board Area | Name of Hospitals Sold Since 1999(as at 14 August 2001) | Sale Proceeds(£ million)
