The estimated yield to health boards in 1985 from contributions by consultants for the use of public facilities in the treatment of their private patients was £423,000. The matter of liability for such contributions, in so far as it relates to consultants employed by health boards, has been referred to the Local Government Staff Negotiations Board and, pending the outcome, health boards have not pursued the collection of contributions to date.
