X-ray Equipment
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much was spent on (a) repairing existing and (b) buying new NHS X-ray equipment in 2004–05.
- Answer
-
A figure of £110 million, excluding value added tax, is recorded for repairs to existing x-ray equipment for national health service trusts in England in 2004–05. X-ray equipment is taken to refer to x-ray imaging equipment only: fluoroscopy, bone densitometers, general and mobile x-ray, mammography, cardiac, mobile image intensifiers.X-ray film or posterior anterior chest system, linear accelerators, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging equipment are therefore not included in these figures.Information on buying new NHS x-ray equipment in 2004–05 is not held centrally.
