§ Mr. Wainwrightasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what costs attributable to surgical inpatients are shown by his monitoring of Huddersfield health authority; and what are the comparable average costs nationwide.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeThe cost returns submitted routinely to our Department do not distinguish between the costs of treating surgical inpatients and those of treating other inpatients in particular hospitals and districts. I understand that Huddersfield health authority does not differentiate between these costs for their own purposes.
