Notes:
Finished admission episodes
A finished admission episode is the first period of in-patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. Please note that admissions do not represent the number of in-patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the year.
Diagnosis (Primary Diagnosis)
The primary diagnosis is the first of up to 14 (7 prior to 2002-03) diagnosis fields in the Hospital Episodes Statistics (HES) data set and provides the main reason why the patient was in hospital.
Ungrossed Data
Figures have not been adjusted for shortfalls in data (i.e. the data are ungrossed).
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 this brings about improvement over time, some shortcomings remain.

Hospitals: Infectious Diseases
Mr. Lansley:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment she has made of a link between contract cleaning services and levels of hospital-acquired infections in hospitals; when the assessment was made; and if she will make a statement. [123066]
Caroline Flint:
Recent information suggests that there is currently no difference between in-house and out-sourced cleaning.
We have also studied the link between cleanliness and healthcare associated infections (HCAI) as measured by Metcillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium difficile rates. Again, we found no evidence of a relationship with out-sourcing.
Current contract guidance makes it clear that quality must be considered alongside cost when deciding how to provide cleaning services.
Hyperactivity: Drugs
Mr. Lansley:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many prescriptions for drugs to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder were issued in each year since 1997-98. [127831]
Caroline Flint:
We do not hold data on the total number of prescriptions for drugs used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Information on the number of prescription items relating to drugs mainly associated with the treatment of ADHD and dispensed in the community in England is in the following table.
