§ Ms JowellTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what assumptions she makes about the additional costs for teaching, research and overheads for London hospitals.
§ Dr. Mawhinney[holding answer 23 May 1994]: In allocating resources, we assume that teaching hospitals incur excess costs, compared with those of other hospitals, which are attributable to the impact of teaching and research on the hospitals' services. The arrangements for allocating resources to regional health authorities include a service increment for teaching and research which recognises the excess costs. In 1994–95 they are assumed to be £37,744 per medical clinical undergraduate student outside London and £41,141 in London.
