HC Deb 08 February 1985 vol 72 cc734-7W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list the charges for private beds in National Health Service hospitals in each year since June 1979.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

We determine charges for private resident patients in health service hospitals for each period of 12 months beginning 1 April. The amounts are shown in the tables, but changes in the classification of hospitals mean that yearly comparisons are not valid in many cases.
