HC Deb 09 July 1990 vol 176 c59W
Mr. Win Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish the latest information he has on the cost of operations and hospital care in each hospital; and when he expects all hospitals to publish a price list for all operations and treatments available for patients.

Mr. Grist

Information on the cost of operations in each hospital is not available centrally. The latest available information on hospital costs is contained in "Welsh Health Costing Returns 1988–89", a copy of which is in the Library. The pricing of services will be included in the contracts for health services which will operate from April 1991. It is intended that these contracts should be made publicly available once agreed.
