The cost of maintaining a patient in an acute general hospital varies according to the type of general hospital involved. On information to hand at present it is estimated that in 1984 the gross cost per patient per day in an acute general teaching hospital will be in the region of £125. In an acute general non-teaching hospital the estimated cost is £90.
