Yvette Cooper

[holding answer 21 November 2000]: The figures for Walsgrave Hospital, part of the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust, formerly called the Walsgrave Hospitals NHS Trust, would exclude cataracts and knee and hip joint replacements, as Orthopaedics and Ophthalmology are based at the Coventry and Warwickshire Hospital site.

The table shows all-operation count of episodes on the number of cataract removal, knee joint replacement, hip joint replacement and hernia carried out at the former Walsgrave Hospitals NHS Trust from 1996–97 to 1998–99.
