NHS Finance

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the answer of 9 January 2006, Official Report, column 145–46W, on NHS finance, if she will provide the equivalent figures for NHS income from fees and charges from NHS trusts in (a) 2002–03 and (b) 2003–04; and if she will outline the reasons for the trend in this income stream from 2002–03 to 2004–05.
Answer

I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave on 6 April 2005, Official Report, columns 1555–58W which provided the comparable data for 2002–03 and 2003–04. The three years data is:

Fees and charges from NHS trusts
£ million
2002–03 386.1
2003–04 531.7
2004–05 669.4

The figures refer to income from local authorities and other non-national health service income.The increase is principally due to increases in income from local authorities for example under care trust joint arrangements or for delayed discharges, over the period.
