§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the estimated average time between receipt of an consultant's referral of a patient for prescription of an artificial limb by an artificial limb and applicance centre or sub-centre and limb fitting centre or sub-centre and (a) the patient's first visit to the centre or subcentre, (b) the despatch to the manufacturer of the order for the artificial limb, (c) the receipt of the artificial limb by the centre or sub-centre and (d) the final fitting of the artificial limb.
§ Mr. NewtonInformation on which to base estimates is not readily available, but the Department tries to arrange for new patients to attend at a centre within 10 days of receiving a consultant's referral. If the stump is sufficiently healed and the prescription of a limb is indicated, the order is usually handed to he manufacturer and the patient is seen by a prosthetist on his first visit to334W the centre. In 1982 an average of 49 days was taken to manufacture an artificial limb, excluding days when it was outside the contractor's control.
§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) what is the estimated average number of visits made by amputees to artificial limb and appliance centres or sub-centres and limb fitting centres or sub-centres before an artificial limb is finally fitted;
(2) in each of the last three years for which figures are available (a) how many attendances for the prescription and fitting of artificial limbs there were at artificial limb and appliance centres or sub-centres and limb fitting centres or sub-centres; and if he will break clown this figure by each centre and sub-centre and (b) how many visits to the homes of patients unable to travel were undertaken by the staff of these centres; and sub-centres and if he will break down this figure by each centre and sub-centre.
§ Mr. NewtonThe information requested is not readily available. However, most new patients needing an artificial leg receive a temporary prosthesis on their second visit to a centre. The provision of a definitive limb requires a minimum of two or three further visits. It is seldom necessary for the staff of centres to visit amputees at home.
§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services in what proportion of attendances at centres and sub-centres for limb fitting the client used the National Health Service ambulance service; and what other forms of transport are available.
§ Mr. NewtonPrecise figures are not available, but it is estimated that 50–60 per cent. of limb patients are carried to and from centres by the ambulance service. Depending on patients' needs the ambulance service may arrange transport by various means including the hospital car service, privately contracted services and vehicles used jointly with local authorities.
§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what investigations into the artificial limb service are currently in progress or have recently ended; and if he intends to publish their findings.
§ Mr. NewtonI expect later this year to receive, the results of a survey of patients' experience of the artificial limb service, and we will then consider whether to publish them. I am considering what further study of the service may be needed.
§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what number of attendances for limb fitting of persons from Lincolnshire, Gloucestershire, Hereford and Worcestershire, Dyfed and Powys took place at the Nottingham, Oxford, Avon, Birmingham, Cardiff and Swansea artificial limb and appliance centres in the last week for which figures are available.
§ Mr. NewtonDuring the week ending Friday 1 July, the number of attendances for limb fitting was:
Nottingham Artificial Limb and Appliance Centre
- 24 patients from Lincolnshire.
Oxford Artificial Limb and Appliance Centre
- 3 patients from Gloucestershire.
Bristol Artificial Limb and Appliance Centre
- 17 patients from Gloucestershire.
- 1 patient from Hereford.
Birmingham Artificial Limb and Appliance Centre
- 22 patients from Hereford and Worcestershire.
Cardiff Artificial Limb and Appliance Centre
- 2 patients from Dyfed.
335 - 1 patient from Powys.
Swansea Artificial Limb and Appliance Centre
- 9 patients from Dyfed.
- 1 patient from Powys.
§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) in each of the last three years, how many prostheses manufactured overseas were supplied by the limb service in England;
(2) if he will give brief descriptions of all prostheses supplied by overseas manufacturers in the last 12 months through the limb service in England;
(3) what is the Government's policy with regard to the supply by the English artificial limb service of prostheses manufactured overseas where no limb of a comparable design or containing comparable materials is available from British manufacturers.
§ Mr. NewtonProstheses and components manufactured overseas may be prescribed where it is decided that they best meet a patient's special requirements. Information on the kinds and number supplied is not readily available.
§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many artificial limbs were supplied in each of the last three years for which figures are available; and if he will break down this figure (a) by each artificial limb and appliance centre or sub-centre and limb fitting centre or sub-centre and (b) by category of artificial limb.
§ Mr. NewtonThe information available is given in the following tables:
