To
ask the Secretary of State for Health, how much the NHS spent on interpreters
in England and Wales in the last three years.

Lamb
(The Minister of State, Department of Health; North Norfolk, Liberal Democrat)
We
do not hold this information 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. However, we
would encourage the NHS to be efficient and save money where possible by
working together and sharing resources.
