Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) which health projects have been rated as red by the Gateway Review process in the last five years; and what subsequent action was taken in each case;

Answer

Since 2009-10, there have been five Gateway reviews which have been set up by the Department where the delivery confidence rating (DCA) has been red. Information is not held centrally on individual action plans arising from individual Gateway reviews. It is the responsibility of the senior responsible owner (SRO) concerned to determine the actions required to meet the recommendations arising from Gateway reviews. Where a review results in a red or amber/red DCA the review team leader will agree with the SRO if an assurance of action plan would be beneficial.

The Department has not set up any Gateway reviews in relation to NHS Property services Ltd.

Information on the Government's major projects, some of which include those for the Department and its arm's length bodies can be found in the annual report of the Major Projects Authority. This can be found at:
