§ Sir Nicholas WintertonTo ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) how many people broken down by(a) gender and (b) age group were treated for abdominal aortic aneurysm in each of the past 10 years for which figures are available; and what the mortality rate for abdominal aortic aneurysm was in each of the past 10 years for which figures are available; [118930]
(2) what representations he has received from the National Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Committee. [118931]
§ Mr. HuttonThe table shows the numbers of people who have been treated for abdominal aortic aneurysm by gender and age between 1995–96 and 2001–02. Data collected before 1995–96 were coded differently and are not comparable. It is not possible to provide the mortality rate as the Health Episode Statistics data cannot be used to determine cause of death.
The Department has no record to date of receiving any representations from the National Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Committee.

1. Figures in these tables have not yet been adjusted for shortfalls in data.
2. The primary diagnosis is the first of seven diagnosis fields in the HES data set, and provides the main reason why the patient was in hospital.
3. Finished in year admissions are defined as the first period of care under one consultant within one health care provider that start and finish within the year.
4. Finished in year admissions do not represent the number of patients, as one person may have more than one finished admission within the year.
