HC Deb 17 March 1994 vol 239 cc838-9W
Ms Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether charges levied by NHS trusts for amenity beds include a notional amount to cover, when appropriate, the additional cost of providing a better menu and exclusive use of television, telephone or bathroom.

Mr. Sackville

The charge levied by national health service trusts for amenity beds should cover all appropriate additional costs of facilities provided.
