HC Deb 04 February 1986 vol 91 c112W
32. Mr. Simon Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the full estimated cost, including maintenance, for undertaking a medical degree at a London teaching hospital.

Mr. Walden

At current prices the full estimated cost, including maintenance, of producing a medical graduate in Great Britain is estimated to be of the order of £130,000. This includes the cost of a service increment for teaching (estimated to be £74,000 per student) made available to teaching hospitals by the DHSS. It is not possible to provide a specific figure for London teaching hospitals.
