§ Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many consultants in the North-West Thames region are providing service to private heath care establishments; how many consultants' annual income and expenditure statements (category II) have been returned; what total of the one-third of all fees has been returned to the authority; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeWe do not collect information centrally about the number of medical and dental consultants providing services to private health care establishments. Consultants are not required to submit statements of category II income and expenditure. They are required to remit one third of their fees to the health authority if NHS laboratory, radiological or other facilities are used.
