ABSTRACT
Using private hospitals over 11 weeks this winter enabled a health authority to remove more than 1,000 patients from waiting lists. Prices were comparable to, and sometimes cheaper than, the NHS. The average cost was 1,120 Pounds per treatment. Patient satisfaction seemed high. Consultant productivity was higher in the private sector.
