The amounts identified and recovered for the 2017/18 financial year will be made available once National Health Service trusts and NHS foundation trusts have published their Annual Accounts.

However, in 2016/17, identified income from charging overseas visitors for NHS services was £81.4 million and cash recovered was £30.4 million.
