Costs of diagnosing Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency

Health and Social Care Board for Northern Ireland did not have the information requested.

Dear Health and Social Care Board for Northern Ireland,

I am writing to ask for an outline of what it costs to conduct the three stimulation tests for Growth Hormone deficiency.
I am only interested in the costs for testing Adults with this condition
Please put the cost for each test separately.
Insulin Stress Test
Glucagon Stress Test
GHRH Arginine Stress Test

If there is a problem obtaining the information because of cost constraints, please detail what criteria is being used under the law to deny answering and if there is a way to help narrow down the criteria in order to cost effectively obtain the information.

Yours faithfully,

G. Marr

David Johnston, Health and Social Care Board for Northern Ireland
