§ Dr. David ClarkTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will specify the element of total running costs at the Cambridge military hospital proportionate to the percentage of patients treated on behalf of the NHS in each of the last five years. [30552]
§ Mr. SoamesThe figures are as follows:
- 1990–91: £7,800,000
- 1991–92: £7,800,000
- 1992–93: £12,000,000
- 1993–94: £15,400,000
- 1994–95: £15,000,000.
These figures include fixed costs which would in any case have been incurred in the treatment of service patients. In addition, because of changes in budgetary responsibility and accounting procedures during the period, the costs are not entirely comparable year on year.
