Fractures
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the average (a) length and (b) cost was of a finished admission episode for people admitted to hospitals with fragility fractures in each of the last five years.
- Answer
-
Data concerning the average length and cost of a finished admission episode for people admitted to hospitals with fragility fractures in each of the last five years is not held centrally.
Clinical coders at the Health and Social Care Information Centre have advised that it is not possible to identify fragility fractures from the ICD10 classification of diseases used in the Hospital Episode Statistics database, therefore the cost cannot be identified.
