Mr. Bradshaw: The information is not available in the format requested.

Reference Costs are collected at Healthcare Resource Group (HRG) level. These are groupings of hospital procedures with similar resource use. Therefore for each type of admitted patient there are over six hundred separate costs collected in Reference Costs and similar groups are collected for outpatients. Therefore no single Reference Cost can be provided for each of the questions asked. The individual Reference Costs are used to generate the average costs.

Average costs of emergency in-patients are not specifically collected. They are included in the non-elective in-patient category, which has a slightly wider definition. The average cost of a non-elective in-patient has therefore been provided.

The hon. Member has requested the average cost of an elective care patient and the average cost of an elective in-patient. This is the same information and is covered in the table under average cost of an elective in-patient.

Average costs for 2006-07 have not yet been published. The latest available average costs are for 2005-06.

Such information as is available is set out in the following table.

Average costs of day-case patients, elective and non-elective in-patients and out-patient and follow-up out-patient appointments at Queen Mary’s Hospital, Sidcup, Queen Elizabeth Hospital NHS Trust, and Lewisham Hospitals NHS Trust and Bromley Hospitals NHS Trust in 2005-06

(4 )The data provided are the average costs of an out-patient attendance (both first and follow-up attendances, as a distinction was not specified) which includes any treatment during that attendance unless it is specifically identified elsewhere (such as radiology) in which case these costs will not have been incorporated into the average. The average costs do not include maternity out-patients as these are collected separately.
(5 )The data provided are the average costs of a follow-up out-patient attendance, which includes any treatment during that attendance, unless it is specifically identified elsewhere (such as radiology) in which case these costs will not have been incorporated into the average. The average costs do not include maternity out-patients which are collected separately.
