§ Baroness HORNSBY-SMITH asked Her Majesty's Government:
§ What proportion of in-patients and out-patients in the London teaching hospitals are non-United Kingdom citizens using the National Health Service; and whether they represent an even greater drain on the limited facilities for sophisticated and expensive treatments than private patients.
§ Lord WELLS-PESTELLInformation about the nationality of patients treated in National Health Service hospitals is not available. I regret that I am therefore unable to answer either part of the noble Baroness's Question.
