Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government in how many Clinical Commissioning Groups rates of (1) major, and (2) minor, amputations are more than 33 per cent above the national average; and how the national average compares with other European Union member states.
It is not possible to distinguish in Hospital Episode Statistics between 'major' and 'minor' amputations.
The Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) has calculated the England average rate of amputation per 100,000 population and highlighted the clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) of residence having rates more than 33% higher than the national average. There are 25 such CCGs.
This is not a count of people as the same person may have had more than one episode of care within the same time period.
We do not have information on a comparison of rates of amputation with other European Union member states.
