HC Deb 01 December 1969 vol 792 c211W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will take steps to ensure that, when consultants use National Health Service facilities and personnel in the treatment of private patients in National Health Service hospitals, they pay fully for the use of such services.

Mr. Crossman

The full cost of the accommodation and services made available for private patients in National Health Service hospitals is now met by the private patients themselves.
