§ Mr. BorrowTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the levels of elective admission to the NHS in South Ribble in the past five years. [171269]
§ Miss Melanie JohnsonThe information requested is shown in the table.
Count of in-year elective (waiting time, booked, planned) admissions—PCT of responsibility5F5 Chorley and South Ribble Primary Care Trust—NHS Hospitals, England 1998–99 to 2002–03. Excluding regular attenders. PCT of responsibility 5F2 Chorley and South Ribble 1998–99 30,440 1999–2000 32,827 2000–01 34,386 2001–02 24,687 2002–03 32,671 Notes: 1. An in-year admission is the first period of in-patient care under one consultant within one health care provider, excluding admissions beginning before 1 April at the start of the data year. Periods of care on-going at the end of the data year (unfinished admission episodes) are included. Please note that admissions do not represent the number of in-patients as a person may have more than one admission within the year. 2. Figures have not been adjusted for shortfalls in data (i.e. the data are ungrossed). 3. PCT and strategic health authority (SHA) data was added to historic data-years in the HES database using 2002–03 boundaries, as a one-off exercise in 2004. The quality of the data on PCT of Treatment and SHA of Treatment is poor in 1996–97, 1997–98 and 1998–99, with over a third of all finished episodes having missing values in these years. Data quality of PCT of general practitioner practice and SHA of GP practice in 1997–98 and 1998–99 is also poor, with a high proportion missing values where practices changed or ceased to exist. There is less change in completeness of the residence-based fields over time, where the majority of unknown values are due to missing postcodes on birth episodes. Users of time series analysis including these years need to be aware of these issues in their interpretation of the data. Source: Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), Department of Health.
