§ Mr. MilburnTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how much income has been generated by NHS hospitals' private patient facilities in each of the last five years, by region.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonThe information by health board area is set out in the table. The figures have been taken from health board annual accounts and, from 1992–93, a combination of health board and NHS trust annual accounts. The figures for 1993–94 are provisional. The figure for Greater Glasgow in that year includes overseas patients, and can therefore not be compared directly with those for earlier years.
