Answer

The Department does not collect information in the form requested. However, the national Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF), which many general practices participate in, records the number of people recorded on certain practice disease registers. Such registers exist for both coronary heart disease (CHD) and diabetes.The CHD register includes all patients who have had coronary artery revascularisation procedures such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, patients with Cardiac Syndrome X will not generally be included in the CHD register.The diabetes register includes patients aged 17 years and over with diabetes mellitus. As the care of children with diabetes mellitus is generally under the control of specialists, the diabetes register generally excludes those patients age 16 and under.The following table below sets out the number of people on CHD registers and diabetes registers for Warrington Primary Care Trust (PCT) and North West Strategic Health Authority.The Department does not collect any data on food related allergies and does not have figures for the rest of the United Kingdom.
