§ Mr. Hancock
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what impact financial incentives to fast track service personnel have had on NHS waiting lists. [146706]

§ Dr. Moonie
Service personnel, including those referred under the Ministry of Defence Hospital Unit (MDHU) contracts, are counted in overall NHS waiting lists. Those waiting lists are managed by NHS trusts. The MOD has not been made aware that financial incentives included in the MDHU contracts have had any impact on those overall NHS waiting lists.
