HC Deb 26 July 1985 vol 83 c963W
Mr. Dobson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what steps he has taken to satisfy himself of the adequacy of the arrangements to prevent fraud in the course of co-operation between private hospitals and the National Health Service.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The form of any contractual agreement and the terms of the financial arrangements are for negotiation between a health authority and the private body, but are subject to audit in the usual way.
