Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord O’Shaughnessy on 5 April (HL6371), whether anyone collects any data on the cost of mesothelioma to the NHS; and if so, who.
While information is not held centrally, individual trusts may capture data relating to the cost of treating mesothelioma patients. However, this information could only be collected at disproportionate cost.
