(1) From the year 2003-04 onwards the Princess Royal Hospital and the Royal Shrewsbury Hospitals merged into a single provider, the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust.
(2) From the year 2002-03 onwards Shropshire Community and Mental Health Trust became Shropshire County PCT and Telford and Wrekin PCT. Notes: 1. Data Quality: Hospital episode statistics (HES) are compiled from data sent by over 300 NHS trusts and primary care trusts (PCTs) in England. The Information Centre for health and social care liaises closely with these organisations to encourage submission of complete and valid data and seeks to minimise inaccuracies and the effect of missing and invalid data via HES processes. While this brings about improvement over time, some shortcomings remain. 2. Finished consultant episode (FCE): An FCE is defined as a period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one health care provider. Please note that the figures do not represent the number of patients as a person may have more than one episode of care within the year. 3. Diagnosis (primary diagnosis): The primary diagnosis is the first of up to 14 (seven prior to 2002-03) diagnosis fields in the hospital episode statistics (HES) data set and provides the main reason why the patient was in hospital. 4. Low numbers: Due to reasons of confidentiality, figures between 1 and 5 have been suppressed and replaced with "*" (an asterisk). To avoid calculation of suppressed values from the totals, the next lowest number has also been suppressed and replaced with an "*". 5. Ungrossed data: Figures have not been adjusted for shortfalls in data (i.e. the data are ungrossed). Source: Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), The Information Centre for health and social care.

Waiting Times

Mr. Burstow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many operations have been subject to medical deferral in each quarter of each of the last five years, broken down by acute hospital trust; and if she will make a statement. [116242]

Andy Burnham: The number of medical deferrals are not collected centrally.

Information is collected quarterly on the number of patients who were suspended from the list at the end of each quarter and the number on the list who had been deferred at some point during their wait. The number of suspensions cannot be split by those suspended for medical or social reasons.

These figures are shown in the following table at England level. National health service trust based figures are available at:
