Diabetes

Mr. Wills
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many admissions to accident and emergency departments of type 1 diabetics in a hypoglycaemic coma occurred in each year since 1987 [29778]

Ms Jowell
The available information is shown in the tables and is based on finished consultant episodes (FCEs), which represent the number of episodes of care under individual consultants. International Classification of Diseases Ninth Revision (ICD9) was used for the period 1989/90 to 1994/95. This was replaced by International Classification of Diseases Tenth Revision (ICD 10) in 1995/96 when many new codes were introduced and others expanded.---------
