Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much NHS Estates charges County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust for Shotley Bridge Hospital.
For 2019/20 the annual NHS Property Services charge for rent, rates, service charges and facilities management at Shotley Bridge Health Centre to County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust was £1.744 million. This charge includes approximately £577,000 relating to maintenance and repair costs (this is subject to a reconciliation exercise of actual costs incurred to charges).
In addition, NHS Property Services has also incurred £786,000 in 2019/20 of landlord capital statutory compliance costs at this property, which are not recharged to tenants.
