§ Mr. HunterTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how many(a) in-patient and (b) out-patient treatments were performed in (i) 1979 and (ii) 1996 at the North Hampshire hospital, formerly Basingstoke district hospital; and what was the percentage change between the two dates. [20688]
§ Mr. HoramInformation on numbers of patients treated is not collected centrally. In-patient activity is recorded in terms of finished consultant episodes. The latest year for which in-patient and out-patient information is available is 1995–96. These data are contained in "Ordinary and day case admissions for England" and "Outpatients and ward attenders for England", copies of which are available in the Library.
Prior to 1988–89 in-patient data were collected on a different basis. Information for 1979 is not available on an individual provider basis.
The table details finished consultant episodes and consultant outpatient attendances for North Hampshire Hospitals NHS Trust, formerly Basingstoke general services unit, for the years 1991–92 and 1995–96.

North Hampshire Hospitals NHS Trust came into being at the beginning of the 1994–95 financial year. Prior to this date it was a directly managed unit called Basingstoke general services unit.
Finished consultant episode data prior to 1991–92 were aggregated to district health authority level, and this is the same for consultant outpatient attendances. However, from that year to 1992–93 NHS trust data could be given individually, but not directly managed unit data, this was again aggregated to district health authority level.
