Mr. Jacksonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many National Health Service in-patients received treatment in private hospitals in the last year for which figures are available.
§ Mrs. Currie[pursuant to her reply, 14 January 1987 c. 207–210]: I regret that the average daily bed occupation figures given for specialties in South-West Thames and Oxford regional health authorities were incorrect. Amended figures are as follows together with revised totals for England.
