Hepatitis: Children
(asked on 3rd July 2014) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many children aged (a) under 10 and (b) 10 and over were admitted to hospital with a (i) primary and (ii) secondary diagnosis of viral hepatitis in each year since 1997.
The Health and Social Care Information Centre collects data on the number of hospital admission episodes for hepatitis C. This does not reflect the actual number of children admitted to hospital, because the same child may have had more than one admission episode within the same time period. The data held by the Health and Social Care Information Centre are as follows:
