Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many procedures have been delivered by NHS England’s Surgical Hubs as of 13 September 2023.

There are currently 94 elective surgical hubs operational across the National Health Service in England. Of those, 63 have implemented unique data codes which allow for their activity to be measured separately from the wider activity of the hospital trust which runs the hub. As of the week ending 30 July 2023, the most recent available data, these 63 hubs have delivered 10,253 elective procedures and 41,067 outpatient appointments.

Implementation of the unique site codes for the remaining 31 hubs is ongoing and is expected to be completed by November 2023. The total number of elective procedures and outpatient appointments above is therefore likely to be an underestimate of total activity.
