Hip Replacements: Costs
(asked on 5th July 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the average cost to the NHS has been of a hip replacement procedure in each year since 2015.
The information is not held centrally in the format requested.
However, the following table shows the average unit cost of all Healthcare Resource Groups (HRGs) which include hip procedures in each year from 2015/16 to 2020/21. The data for 2021/22 is currently being collected and centrally validated and is expected to be available by November 2022. An HRG consists of patient events which have been determined to consume a similar level of resource.
Financial year | Average unit cost |
2015/16 | £7,113 |
2016/17 | £7,071 |
2017/18 | £7,353 |
2018/19 | £7,305 |
2019/20 | £8,009 |
2020/21 | £11,770 |
