The information requested for Teesside is not available. However, such information as is available is shown in the table below and is from reference costs, which are the average unit cost to National Health Service trusts and foundation trusts of providing defined services in a given financial year. Reference costs are published annually, with most recently available data being for 2014-15.

Reference costs for acute care are published by healthcare resource group (HRG), which are standard groupings of similar treatments that use similar resources. The HRGs in the table below describe renal dialysis activity for the treatment of chronic kidney disease and acute kidney injury.

  1. In 1974 the County Borough of Teesside was abolished. The former historic county of Teesside is locally used to refer to the north east of England around the urban centre of Middlesbrough.

  1. In answering this question we used data for the two trusts within Teesside, North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust and South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust had no data to answer this question.

  1. For each HRG or other currency in the reference cost collection, NHS hospital trusts submit a unit cost and amount of activity undertaken.
