Hepatitis
(asked on 17th April 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what are the latest NHS England estimates of the total number of people infected with the Hepatitis C virus within each Operational Delivery Network.
The information on infection rates is not available in the format requested. Most recent estimates suggest that around 160,000 people in England are living with chronic hepatitis C infection, of which a substantial proportion are thought to be undiagnosed or diagnosed but not engaged in specialist care. We do not currently have these figures broken down by Operational Delivery Network (ODN) but Public Health England is preparing updated estimates of hepatitis C prevalence and disease burden at the sub-national level, due to be published in 2018.
Over the past three years ODNs have delivered the following number of hepatitis C treatments.
