NHS: Translation Services
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what information NHS England holds on expenditure on translation and interpretation services for (a) EU and (b) non-EU patients.
- Answer
-
We do not hold this information centrally. National Health Service organisations have a duty to follow equalities legislation. This includes making sure their communities can understand information about the NHS services and that patients and clinicians can communicate with each other. We encourage the NHS to be efficient and save money by working together and sharing resources.
