tabling member constituency	Strangford
tabling member printed	Jim Shannon
uin	195591
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2018 answer text <p>Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a rare condition with an estimated 1/17,000 children born with the condition in the United Kingdom. We estimate that there are currently 5,000 people living with the condition.</p><p> </p><p>Due to the way data is collected, the exact number of EB diagnoses is difficult to ascertain. Finished admission episodes (FAE) data for England show that in the financial year of 2013-14, 313 patients received a primary diagnosis of EB. In the following years 244 (2014-15), 360 (2015-16), 346 (2016-167) and 349 (2017-18) patients, respectively, received a primary diagnosis of EB. A FAE is the first period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. Admissions do not represent the number of patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the period.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 04/12/2018 11:25:05 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
