Lord Blease

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether further to their Written Answer to Lord Blease on 24th March 1986 (col. 1269), they will indicate their nearest estimate of the amount and/or the percentage proportion of the Northern Ireland Gross Domestic Product spent on private insurance and personal health care, over and above the proportion of the GDP expended by the NHS on health and personal social services.

Information about expenditure on private insurance and personal health care is not available and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
