Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what were (a) the rates of admission to hospital, (b) the total hospital bed-days per population and (c) the rates of admission to hospital from a nursing home or residential care home for patients with a secondary diagnosis of dementia over (i) 65 and (ii) 75 years of age for each clinical commissioning group in England for 2013-14.

The Health and Social Care Information Centre have provided the following data concerning patients with a secondary diagnosis of dementia by clinical commissioning group (CCG) of residence for individuals aged over 65 and over 75, for 2013-14 (provisional):

(a) the rates of admission to hospital per age group population;

(b) the total hospital bed-days per age group population; and

(c) the rates of admission to hospital from a nursing home or residential care home per age group population.

Please be aware that data for 2013-14 is provisional and is therefore subject to change.

It should be noted that some patients who live in nursing homes or residential care may have their source of admission recorded as 'usual place of residence' by the hospital staff but we cannot identify these.

The table is attached.
