§ Mr. Denham[holding answer 28 January 2000]: The information requested is in the table:
£ million Christie Hospital Royal Marsden Departmental 38.4 53.1 Charitable including endowments 12.4 0.919 Other sources 6.6 20.1 It should be noted that as cancer service providers both of these hospitals are not directly comparable due to a number of factors which are unique to the Royal Marsden Hospital. These include the population served, level of complex surgery performed, a different case mix, higher building and capital costs as well as higher staffing costs as a result of London weighting.
