Malnutrition
(asked on 7th September 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many people were admitted to hospital with malnutrition in England in 2015-16.
This question was answered on 15th September 2016
Published data on finished admission episodes with a primary diagnosis of malnutrition for 2015-16 are not yet available. We do not hold data on the number of people admitted to hospital with malnutrition. Hospital Episode Statistics record admissions to hospital rather the number of patients, as a person may have more than one admission within a certain period.
