§ Mrs. Dunwoodyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what was the total income from National Health Service lodging charges in 1982–83 and 1983–84; and what is the estimated income for 1984–85.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeAnnual accounts for 1982–83 submitted to the Department by NHS authorities in England show total income from lodging charges as £29.4 million.
A figure for 1983–84 will not be available until the autumn. An estimate for that financial year or for 1984–85 would be purely speculative.
