– Scottish Parliament written question – answered at on 2 December 2002.
Question S1W-31729
To ask the Scottish Executive which health premises have been provided by third party development in each year since 1999; what the capital costs and revenue consequences were in each case, broken down by NHS board area, and who has the head lease for each of these premises.
The information requested is not held centrally.
However, 19 projects providing modern, fit-for-purpose accommodation for GP practices are understood to have been completed under the third-party development arrangement. Detailed information can be obtained from individual trusts on those health premises funded using the third-party development arrangement and the capital and revenue consequences.
Increasingly GPs are located in property from which other health care or social care is being provided. Dependent on local circumstances a head lease can be taken by any of the occupants although Primary Care Trusts are not encouraged by the department to assume the role of head lessee.
