HC Deb 20 July 1984 vol 64 c340W
Mr. Dobson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will give for each year since 1979 the total amount of money Welsh health authorities have had to write off as bad debts because of private patients not paying their bills.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The information requested is not collected centrally, and it is not available from the annual accounts submitted by health authorities.
