(asked on 6th March 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what estimate he has made of the cost of unreturned NHS community equipment in each of the last five years; and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 9th March 2017
The information requested is not collected centrally. This is due to many areas having local arrangements for pooled budgets with the local authority under Section 75 of the National Health Service Act 2006 for an integrated community equipment service.
