To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) which NHS hospitals provide drug eluting stents to private patients but not to NHS patients; [99439](2) which NHS hospitals which provide drug eluting stents to private patients also provide NHS patients with drug eluting stents. [99438]

No information is held centrally regarding the provision of drug eluting stents for national health service patients or for private patients who are treated in private units based in NHS hospitals. Such information could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
