Agenda for Change: NHS Pay Restraint

"Of course, and the point is very well made, but I will also say again that it does not help deficit reduction if nurses are being pushed into the grip of private staffing agencies as a consequence of pay policies. That is another way in which the Government’s short-sighted approach …..."

Agenda for Change: NHS Pay Restraint

Written Question
Respiratory System: Diseases
Monday 28th November 2016

Asked by: Andy Burnham (Labour - Leigh)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many people were admitted to hospital due to a respiratory condition in each age group in (a) Greater Manchester and (b) England in each year since 2009-10.

Answered by David Mowat

A count of finished admission episodes with a primary diagnosis of 'respiratory diseases' in Greater Manchester hospitals and for England, by age, from 2010-11 to 2015-16 is attached. Data before 2010-11 was not collected in the current format so cannot be directly compared.
