§ Mr. George RobertsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the total income received from private patients in each health board in Scotland in each year since 1989–90. [7169]
§ Mr. Michael ForsythSince 1992–93 the provision of health care in Scotland has been split between health boards and NHS trusts. Private patient income figures for both health boards and NHS trusts are set out in the table. The figures for Greater Glasgow in 1993–94 and Lothian in 1994–95 include overseas patients, and can therefore not be compared directly with other years.
