David Davis

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many of the operations postponed due to osteoporotic hip fractures were cancelled operations in(a) Hull and the East Riding and (b) England and Wales, in the last two quarters for which figures are available. [57575]

Mr. Hutton

Data on the number of operations postponed or cancelled due to osteoporotic hip fractures are not available, as no information is collected on the reasons for cancellations.

Data on the number of operations cancelled in England by the hospital for non-clinical reasons on, or after, the day the patient was due to be admitted are available in the Library.

Information about health services in Wales are a matter for the National Assembly for Wales.
