Mr. Burstow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will estimate the risk-adjusted backlog maintenance cost for the NHS in (a) England and (b) each strategic health authority in each year since 1997. [205023] Mr. Hutton: Estimates can be provided from 1999-2000 onwards and this information is shown in the table. Insufficient data exists centrally to make estimates prior to that date. The estimates are based on the average age of national health service trust buildings. From 2004-05, the method of calculating backlog costs by trusts will be based on specific data concerning the remaining lives of individual NHS buildings, initially provided by the Valuation Office, and will deliver greater accuracy as a result. £000 _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Mr. Bercow: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what his estimate is of the cost of building refurbishment carried out by his Department in each of the last two years. [202435] Maria Eagle: The available information is in the following table: £ million _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 2002-03 2003-04 Business-related refurbishment works (non 25.819 22. 932 modernisation programme)1 Modernisation programme works2 274. 181 335.068 Total 300 358 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1 Business-related refurbishment works are ongoing, internal changes to buildings to meet developing business needs e.g. the removal of partition walls to accommodate organisational moves of staff. 2 Modernisation programme works are part of a major programme funded by the Treasury to improve the way in which DWP services are delivered to the public. The physical surroundings of several of the businesses within DWP are being changed, including Jobcentre Plus, The Pensions Service and Debt Management Services. This spend is a combination of new acquisitions, major refurbishments to buildings already part of the estate, as well as the smaller, business-related refurbishment works costs. While the overall cost of the programme is known it is not possible to provide separate figures for refurbishment works. Note: Additionally, our private sector partners Land Securities Trillium are responsible for providing an ongoing maintenance programme for all buildings on the estate. DWP pays for this as part of the unitary charge for the serviced accommodation it receives at each building and it is not possible to provide separate costs for this.

In addition, £3.8 million has been allocated in the 2004-05 financial year towards removal, decontamination work or repair/remedial work, where this is necessary. It is only necessary to remove the asbestos if it in poor condition or at risk of being disturbed, otherwise the Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland (HSENI) advice is to leave it in place and manage the risk.
