Notes:

1. The format of the collection has changed since 1997 where the time bands were collected in months.

2. Time bands of patients waiting are now collected in weeks.

3. The shortest waiting time is represented by the shortest time band collected and similarly the longest waiting time is represented by the longest time band collected.

Department of Health KH07.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many (a) out-patients and (b) in and day case patients were treated per day on average by York Hospitals NHS Trust, excluding those specialties transferred to the primary care trust, in each year since 1992; and what the figures are for 2006 to date. (106454)

The information is not available in the format requested. The Department has no local information on what specialities have been transferred to primary care trusts. In addition, the Department is unable to extract the average number of patients treated per day. The table placed in the Library therefore shows the count of finished consultant episodes for ordinary and day case admissions at York Hospitals NHS Trust in each year since 1992.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many finished consultant episodes there were in each specialty at York Hospitals NHS Trust in each year since 1992. (106455)

The information requested is shown in the following tables.

Notes:

Finished Consultant Episode (FCE)

An FCE is defined as a period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. Please note that the figures do not represent the umber of patients, as a person may have more than one episode within the year.

Speciality

Care is needed when analysing HES data by speciality, or by groups of specialities (such as Acute). Trusts have different ways of managing specialities and attributing codes so it is better to analyse by specific diagnoses, operations or other recorded information.

Ungrossed Data

Figures have not been adjusted for shortfalls in data (i.e. the data are ungrossed).

Low Numbers

Due to reasons of confidentiality, figures between one and five have been suppressed and replaced with “*”(an asterisk).
