HC Deb 10 May 1984 vol 59 c450W
Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how much Janice Smale and her four test tube babies have cost the National Health Service to date.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Because of the combination of treatment and research elements in this case, it is not possible to give an accurate figure for the cost to the National Health Service. A substantial proportion of the total cost came from university and other research funds.
