Mr. Sheerman: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what are the relative costs of treating an AIDS patient (a) in hospital and
(b) as an outpatient. [22172]
Ms Jowell: The relative costs of treating AIDS patients in hospital and as outpatients will vary from hospital to hospital due to a
variety of factors including the choice of treatment, which is a matter for discussion between patient and doctor. The success so
far of new combination drug treatments for people with HIV and AIDS is resulting in fewer patients being treated as hospital
in-patients. For the longer term, we have set up an Expert Working Group to undertake a Stocktake of the HIV/AIDS treatment and care
budget, its use and future distribution, taking into account the costs and benefits of combination drug treatments.
