Written Answers. - Acute Hospitals Patient Cost.
The information requested by the Deputy, based on the most recent information available, is set out in the attached table. It is stressed that patient costs per day vary greatly depending on the type of hospital and on the mix of cases treated. Any crude comparison of the figure shown in the table would therefore be very misleading.
