§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much tax revenue is generated from charges in the national health service. [25297]
§ Dawn PrimaroloPrescription and other national health service patient charges are outside the scope of VAT.

It is not possible to separate tax revenue on NHS charges from tax revenue on other income.
