uin	218941
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2015 answer text <p>It is not the case that indicators measuring the mortality rates of over 75s are excluded in the NHS Outcomes Framework. An overarching indicator in Domain 1, ‘Life Expectancy at 75’, is derived from mortality rates for people aged over 75 from all causes. This indicator captures premature mortality in a way that does not presume any age-determined limit to when a death is premature.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The cause-specific mortality rate indicators are capped at age 75 because the attribution of the cause of death is more problematic for older people, who often have co-morbidities. Therefore, these indicators could become misleading if they included those aged 75 and above.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>However, the Department will keep under review outcome measures for older people as part of the next refresh of the NHS Outcomes Framework.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 07/01/2015 17:35:29 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
