HC Deb 28 October 1975 vol 898 c425W
Dr. Glyn

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what would be the cost to the Exchequer of abolishing all private practices administered to United Kingdom nationals and non-residents.

Dr. Owen

As it is no part of the Government's policy to abolish all private practices—medical or otherwise—in the United Kingdom, there has been no consideration of the effect on the Exchequer of so doing.
