§ Mr. AndersonTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Services what sums were collected by each health authority from non-United Kingdom residents for hospital charges in 1985–86 and 1986–87; and what is the estimated net sum after deduction of costs of administration.
§ Mrs. CurrieThe table shows the income under section 121 of the National Health Service Act 1977 recorded in the annual accounts of health authorities for 1985–86 and 1986–87. This income is shown net of any sums written off in the relevant year, including those due from earlier years; in some cases the result is a negative figure (figures shown in brackets in table). Such figures represent adjustments to the accrued income reported in prior years and not actual outflows of funds.
No deduction has been made for the cost of administration. The Department has no specific overall information on the administrative costs of collecting section 121 income which will vary from authority to authority.
The table does not include income received under sections 65 and 66 of the Act from overseas residents treated as private patients.
