Mrs. Renée Short
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the cost of a normal chest X-ray, a normal abdominal X-ray, mammography of both breasts, an electrocardiogram, a routine blood test and a cervical smear test.
Mr. Moyle
Costing returns from NHS hospitals for the year ending 31st March 1976 are not yet complete, but those so far received indicate that for the three X-ray tests, approximate costs were as follows:
| £ | |
| Normal chest X-ray | 1·53 |
| Normal abdominal X-ray | 2·04 |
| Mammography (both breasts) | 7·67 |
