HC Deb 30 July 1997 vol 299 cc391-2W
Mr. Jack

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what additional revenues he estimates will accrue to the NHS in 1997–8 from the recovery of moneys made by trusts under the terms of the Road Traffic Reduction Act 1997. [11042]

Ms Jowell

None. The Road Traffic Reduction Act does not give revenue-raising powers to national health service trusts.

Mr. Jack

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if income received by an NHS trust from the recoupment of road traffic accident costs is repayable to purchasing authorities. [11279]

Ms Jowell

No, but trusts must take income from this source into account when setting the prices they charge to health authorities and general practitioner fundholders.
