HM Courts and Tribunals Service: NHS
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what financial contribution the NHS makes to the tribunal service.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The HM Courts and Tribunals Service is funded primarily by the Ministry of Justice. Where the National Health Service is party to a tribunal where a fee is levied, for instance immigration and asylum, and other fee charging special tribunals, they will pay this in the usual way. We would not expect the NHS to be a significant source of income through these tribunal fees, however the HM Courts and Tribunals Service’s annual report and accounts do not provide the level of detail required to be able to provide a figure.
