HC Deb 13 January 1997 vol 288 c174W
Mr. Chris Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list(a) the average cost of a vasectomy and (b) the average yearly cost of providing contraceptive care to a patient. [10680]

Mr. Horam

Information on the cost of a vasectomy is not collected centrally. Provision of contraceptive care by the national health service costs an average of just over £40 per year per user of family planning services.
