The National Child Measurement Programme is one element of the Government’s work programme on childhood obesity. The data collected are used to inform local planning and delivery of services for children; and gather population-level surveillance data to allow analysis of trends in growth patterns and obesity.
Patient Choice Schemes
Mr. Stephen O'Brien:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the answer of 10 February 2009, Official Report, column 1938W, on patient choice schemes, how many people were referred to first outpatient appointments in each primary care trust area in January 2009; and what the equivalent figures were for January 2008. [257787]
Mr. Bradshaw:
The figures for the number of patients referred to a first consultant-led outpatient appointment following a referral by their general practitioner (GP) in each primary care trust (PCT) from January 2009 have not been published yet. The pre-announced date for publication is 27 February 2009. However, the following table shows figures for January 2008 and December 2007 and December 2008.
