Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many people were waiting 78 weeks or more for (a) hip and (b) hip replacement surgery in the Somerset NHS Foundation Trust in each month between February 2020 and September 2022.

Answer

Hospital Episode Statistics is a database containing details of all admissions, accident and emergency attendances and outpatient appointments at National Health Service hospitals. Initially this data is collected during a patient's time at hospital as part of the Commissioning Data Set. However, the data that is requested in this question is not available in the format requested. Waiting time data at trust level is not available by specific condition/treatment.
