Who pays, wins
The annual reports and financial accounts of Devon's main National Health Service hospitals tell me they earned more than £5.5 million last year from treating private patients.
Here are the details of private patient income:
Derriford £3.434 m
Royal Devon & Exeter £1.142 m
Torbay £466,000
North Devon £463,000
So keen is Derriford to pitch for this kind of business that its The in particular looks like the ideal place for those untroubled by the politics of envy:
"Rooms are cleaned daily, with fresh towels and toiletries provided for your convenience. You will be able to select each meal from a varied menu during your stay with us. Our dedicated chef oversees the menu planning to make sure that we offer a healthy and appetising choice to suit most tastes."
I'm trying to get the data I need to make comparisons. On the face of it, Cornwall is cheaper.
