Jacqui Smith

We do not have information on readmission rates within two months. Information for England showing emergency readmissions to hospital within 28 days of last previous discharge from hospital by trust and health authority was published on Wednesday 20 February. This information will be placed in the Library and can be found on www.doh.gov.uk/nhsperformanceindicators/index.htm

Tim Loughton

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will publish the type of home of over 65-year-old patients readmitted to hospitals within two months of discharge, broken down by(a) residential/ nursing home and (b) private home with domiciliary care. [37311]
