Mr. William Hamilton
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the growth of private health facilities in the past year.
Mr. Allan Stewart
My right hon. Friend has authorised two applications for private out-patients facilities in NHS hospitals. One application for two pay beds has been refused. We have received statutory notification of four proposed private hospital developments to provide 194 beds in total.
