§ Mr. Gwilym Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Wales what was the average cost for treatment per patient in the National Health Service in Wales in 1984–85 and in each of the health authorities.
§ Mr. Mark RobinsonTo average patient costs in the form requested does not allow for meaningful comparisons to be made. I would however refer my hon. Friend to the publications "Welsh Costings Returns" and "Key Statistical Indicators for NHS Management in Wales", copies of which are available in the Library.
