(asked on 12th October 2015) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the cost was of translation services in primary care provision in (a) England and (b) Wales in 2013-14.
This question was answered on 19th October 2015
The Department does not hold information related to translation services centrally. National Health Service organisations have a duty to follow equalities legislation. This includes making sure their communities can understand information about the NHS services and that patients and clinicians can communicate with each other.
