Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many young people have been admitted as day cases at Stafford Hospital in each year since 2009-10.
Answered by Jane Ellison
The information is not available in the format requested.
Information on the number of finished admission episodes (FAEs) with a patient classification of "day case" for patients aged between 0 and 17 (inclusive) treated at Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust for each year since 2009-10 is shown in the following table:
Year | Count of FAEs |
2009-10 | 828 |
2010-11 | 748 |
2011-12 | 701 |
2012-13 | 829 |
2013-14 (provisional) | 729 |
Notes:
1. FAE:
An FAE is the first period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. FAEs are counted against the year or month in which the admission episode finishes. Admissions do not represent the number of patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the period.
2. Hospital Provider:
A provider code is a unique code that identifies an organisation acting as a health care provider (e.g. National Health Service trust or primary care trust). Data from some independent sector providers, where the onus for arrangement of dataflows is on the commissioner, may be missing. Care must be taken when using this data as the counts may be lower than true figures.
3. Assessing growth through time (Admitted patient care):
Hospital Episode Statistics figures are available from 1989-90 onwards. Changes to the figures over time need to be interpreted in the context of improvements in data quality and coverage (particularly in earlier years), improvements in coverage of independent sector activity (particularly from 2006-07) and changes in NHS practice. For example, changes in activity may be due to changes in the provision of care.
4. Provisional data:
The data is provisional and may be incomplete or contain errors for which no adjustments have yet been made. Counts produced from provisional data are likely to be lower than those generated for the same period in the final dataset. This shortfall will be most pronounced in the final month of the latest period, i.e. November from the (month 9) April to November extract. It is also probable that clinical data are not complete, which may in particular affect the last two months of any given period. There may also be errors due to coding inconsistencies that have not yet been investigated and corrected.

Information on the number of outpatient attendances for individuals aged 0-17 (inclusive) at Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust, since 2009-10 is shown in the following table.
Year | Number of outpatient attendances |
2009-10 | 23,257 |
2010-11 | 25,275 |

Notes:
1. Outpatient attendances:
A patient's treatment in outpatients can consist of a series of attendances; a distinction between the first in the series and subsequent attendances is commonly reported. The data provided here includes all episodes, whether it was a first or a subsequent attendance, and also includes tele-consultations.
2. Assessing growth through time (Outpatients):
HES figures are available from 2003-04 onwards. Changes to the figures over time need to be interpreted in the context of improvements in data quality and coverage (particularly in earlier years), improvements in coverage of independent sector activity (particularly from 2006-07) and changes in NHS practice. For example, changes in activity may be due to changes in the provision of care.
3. Provisional data: The data is provisional and may be incomplete or contain errors for which no adjustments have yet been made. Counts produced from provisional data are likely to be lower than those generated for the same period in the final dataset. This shortfall will be most pronounced in the final month of the latest period, i.e. November from the (month 9) April to November extract. It is also probable that clinical data are not complete, which may in particular affect the last two months of any given period.

Notes:
1. Episode duration (Bed days):
Episode duration is calculated as the difference in days between the episode start date and the episode end date, where both are given. Episode duration is based on finished consultant episodes and only applies to ordinary admissions, i.e. day cases are excluded (unless otherwise stated).
2. Hospital Provider:
A provider code is a unique code that identifies an organisation acting as a health care provider (e.g. National Health Service trust or primary care trust). Data from some independent sector providers, where the onus for arrangement of dataflows is on the commissioner, may be missing.

Asked by: Jeremy Lefroy (Conservative - Stafford)
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what scrutiny arrangements the Care Quality Commission applies to (a) abortion and (b) other counselling.
Answered by Jane Ellison
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is responsible for monitoring the providers of abortion services in England, to make sure they comply with the regulations set out under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (HSCA). If a CQC inspection identifies instances of non-compliance with the HSCA and Regulations then appropriate regulatory action will be taken. The CQC's Essential Standards of quality and safety require that women undergoing termination of pregnancy know that “they are able to discuss their choices and decisions with a trained counsellor” and “where services are provided to children or people with a learning disability, the counsellor available has relevant experience in discussing termination of pregnancy with them”. For other forms of counselling which are registered activities under the 2008 Act and regulations, CQC takes a similar approach to judgement and action.
Asked by: Jeremy Lefroy (Conservative - Stafford)
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, whether all abortions commissioned by NHS England from private providers are recorded in the abortion statistics.
Answered by Jane Ellison
It is a legal requirement for a medical practitioner terminating a pregnancy to notify the Chief Medical Officer on form HSA4 within 14 days of the procedure whether it is undertaken in an National Health Service hospital or in the independent sector. All procedures are recorded in Abortion Statistics, England and Wales published annually.
