Orthopaedic Centres

I thank the Minister for that response, and it is reassuring that he is looking into providing a service at Craigavon and Antrim hospitals. What plans are there to attract more orthopaedic staff to the national health service, given the large waiting lists, and how does he intend to deal with the backlog caused by those lists?

Mrs. Iris Robinson: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) how many individuals in England have congenital multiple limb disability; [179073] (2) what plans he has to provide a multidisciplinary centre for congenital multiple limb disability sufferers incorporating orthopaedic and rehabilitation services;. [179074] (3) what specialist medical facilities exist to support those with congenital multiple limb disability;. [179093] (4) what the procedures in the NHS are for referring patients with multiple limb disability to the Ex-Centre in Stockholm for assessment;. [179095] (5) how many UK patients have been referred through the NHS to the Ex-Centre in Stockholm for multiple limb disability. [179096] Dr. Ladyman: Figures on how many individuals in England have congenital multiple limb disability are not collected centrally, although the Department is aware that there are 455 individuals currently being supported in the United Kingdom by the Thalidomide Trust. Also, the Department recorded 18,910 finished admission episodes in national health service hospitals in England in 2002-03 relating to congenital malformations and deformations of the musculoskeletal system. A finished admission episode is the first period of in-patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. Admissions do not represent the number of in-patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the year. It is for primary care trusts (PCTs), in partnership with strategic health authorities and other local stakeholders, to determine how best to use their funds to meet national and local priorities for improving health, tackling health inequalities and modernising services. This process provides the means for addressing local needs within the health community including the provision of prosthetic limbs. Prosthetic services are delivered to patients through 33 disablement service centres in England. Patients normally attend their local centre, but can attend another if they wish. If an overseas option is considered, it would be for the local PCT commissioning team to agree that. Figures on how many UK patients have been referred through the NHS to the Ex-Centre in Stockholm for multiple limb disability are not collected centrally. Prosthetic limbs are provided free of charge to single or multiple prosthetic limb users by the NHS. The NHS has available to it, via contracts negotiated by the NHS Purchasing and Supply Agency, virtually everything that is available on the international market. Furthermore, local healthcare professionals have the ability to obtain products from outside of the current national agreement if it is deemed appropriate for the specific needs of particular patients.

Mrs. Iris Robinson: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what the average waiting times are for (a) inpatient admission and (b) outpatient assessment in each of the Province's orthopaedic centres. [151212] Angela Smith: The information is as follows: (a) The average waiting time for inpatient admission to the Trauma and Orthopaedic Specialty by Provider Trust in 2002-03 is shown in the following table. _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Provider Trust Average wait in days Royal Group of Hospitals HSS Trust 16 Green Park Healthcare HSS Trust 174 Ulster Community and Hospitals Trust 21 Altnagelvin Group HSS Trust 188 Northern Ireland Average 162 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Note: The data is calculated based on those people who were electively admitted to hospital during 2002-03. Data for the Royal Group of Hospital HSS Trust includes patients admitted to the Trauma and Orthopaedic specialty in the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children. The casemix at the Royal Group of Hospitals HSS Trust and the Ulster Community and Hospitals Trust is different to the casemix at Green Park Healthcare HSS Trust and Altnagelvin Group HSS Trust. This accounts for the large variation in average waiting time between these Trusts. Source: Hospital Inpatients System (b) The information requested is not available
