HC Deb 09 June 1967 vol 747 c282W
Sir H. Lucas-Tooth

asked the Minister of Health what percentage of the gross national income of the United Kingdom is spent on the health services; and how this percentage compares with that spent in France, Germany, Italy, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland, respectively.

Mr. K. Robinson

Health service expenditure amounted to just over 4½ per cent, of the gross national product for 1965–66. Comparable figures for the other countries are not available.
