HC Deb 04 November 1997 vol 300 c128W
Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what estimate he has made of the cost of prescribing beta interferon in each year since 1995 for each health authority. [13476]

Mr. Win Griffiths

The expenditure on Beta Interferon across the NHS in Wales since 1995 is £8,764. This figure excludes clinical trials for which there is no data available. There is a risk that to provide a more detailed breakdown of this figure might breach patient confidentiality.
