HC Deb 08 June 1981 vol 6 c32W
Mr. Stuart Holland

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the estimated net cost to the National Health Service of the provisions contained in the Health Notice (81) 13.

Dr. Vaughan

The estimated net income to the NHS in England is £5 million per year at November 1979 prices. This figure does not take account of increased income from private practice nor of any deterrent effect of the charges.
