Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many and what proportion of people received treatment for (a) knee and (b) hip replacements in surgical hubs in each of the last 12 months.

NHS England has introduced specific hub-level data site codes for all operational hubs in 2023, with 89% of the 101 operational hubs now reporting data against these codes. However, as many of the hubs have only recently introduced the data codes, NHS England have limited data available for the last 12 months, and much of this new data submission is still being validated. Therefore, NHS England currently do not have reliable, validated hub-specific data about specific procedures undertaken in hubs.
