§ Mr. Churchillasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many people, including dependants of subscribers, are currently covered by private health insurance schemes; and what is the total value of such schemes.
§ Dr. OwenAs I said in my reply to the hon. Member for Truro (Mr. Dixon) on 12th July, I have no direct information on the numbers covered by private health insurance schemes but according to "Provident Schemes Statistics 1972" the subscription income in 1972 of 11 provident schemes amounted to £29.4 million.
