Drugs: Misuse James Brokenshire To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many children under the age of 18 were admitted to hospital with an (a) primary and (b) secondary diagnosis of poisoning by drugs in each strategic health authority in each of the last five years. Gillian Merron The information requested is in the following tables. These data include admissions in English national health service hospitals and English NHS commissioned activity in the independent sector. These data are not a count of ‘people’ as the same person may have been admitted on more than one occasion with one of the specified diagnosis codes. Those admitted with a primary diagnosis of poisoning by drugs, may also have had an additional secondary diagnosis of poisoning by drugs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | |2008-09 |2007-08 |2006-07 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |SHA code |SHA of residence description |Primary diagnosis|Secondary diagnosis|Primary diagnosis|Secondary diagnosis|Primary diagnosis|Secondary diagnosis| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Q30 |North-east strategic health authority |1,230 |27 |1,308 |34|1,329|22| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Q31 |North-west strategic health authority |2,953 |67 |3,360 |111|3,179|118| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Q32 |Yorkshire and the Humber strategic health authority|1,872 |55 |1,959 |53|2,001|76| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Q33 |East midlands strategic health authority |1,523 |42 |1,654 |50|1,508|40| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Q34 |West midlands strategic health authority |2,045 |46 |2,131 |46|2,165|45| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Q35 |East of England strategic health authority |1,263 |39 |1,371 |37|1,331|25| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Q36 |London strategic health authority |1,666 |44 |1,738 |59|1,650|54| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Q37 |South-east coast strategic health authority |1,366 |42 |1,380 |31|1,246|34| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Q38 |South-central strategic health authority |1,285 |40 |1,295 |34|1,265|29| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Q39 |South-west strategic health authority |1,750 |34 |1,914 |54|1822|54| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Q99 |Wales |62 |1 |62 |1|44|3| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |S |Scotland |10 |0 |8 |0|7|0| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |U |England—not otherwise specified |43 |1 |49 |0|41|2| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |X |Foreign (incl.
