<\/td><\/tr>

A finished admission episode (FAE) is the first period of inpatient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. FAEs are counted against the year or month in which the admission episode finishes. Admissions do not represent the number of inpatients, as a person may have more than one admission within the period.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

<\/td><\/tr>

Falls are categorised by the following external cause codes:

W01 Fall on same level from slipping tripping and stumbling
W02 Fall involving ice-skates skis roller-skates or skateboards
W03 Other fall same level due collision/pushing by another person
W04 Fall while being carried or supported by other persons
W05 Fall involving wheelchair
W06 Fall involving bed
W07 Fall involving chair
W08 Fall involving other furniture
W09 Fall involving playground equipment
W10 Fall on and from stairs and steps
W11 Fall on and from ladder
W12 Fall on and from scaffolding
W13 Fall from out of or through building or structure
W14 Fall from tree
W15 Fall from cliff
W16 Diving/jumping into water causing injury other than drowning or submersion

W18 Other fall on same level

4<\/sup>Assessing growth through time (Admitted patient care)<\/p><\/td>

<\/td> <\/td> <\/td> <\/td> <\/td><\/tr>

Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) figures are available from 1989-90 onwards. Changes to the figures over time need to be interpreted in the context of improvements in data quality and coverage (particularly in earlier years), improvements in coverage of independent sector activity (particularly from 2006-07) and changes in NHS practice. For example, apparent reductions in activity may be due to a number of procedures which may now be undertaken in outpatient settings and so no longer include in admitted patient HES data. Conversely, apparent increases in activity may be due to improved recording of diagnosis or procedure information.
Note that HES include activity ending in the year in question and run from April to March, e.g. 2012-13 includes activity ending between 1 April 2012 and 31 March 2013.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

This information is not collected. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) 2009 guideline \u2018Low back pain: Early management of persistent non-specific low back pain\u2019 is currently being updated to include sciatica. NICE estimates that the lifetime incidence range of sciatica is 13 to 40% and annual incidence of an episode of sciatica ranges from 1 to 5%. The updated guidance is expected for publication in 2016.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

  1. Data are shown for each of the last eight years due to the inclusion of dementia on the QOF register from only 2006-07.<\/li>
  2. Data are not available by constituency but are shown by East PCT and East Lancashire CCG due to NHS organisational changes in 2013.<\/li>
  3. Data are for all patients.<\/li>
  4. The number of people recorded on practice disease registers is available in the QOF, published by the HSCIC. The numbers of diagnoses are not available but the numbers of people on the dementia register are available. This is a measure of prevalence rather than incidence.<\/li>
  5. The number of patients on clinical registers can be used to calculate disease prevalence, expressing the number of patients on each register as a percentage of the number of patients on practices\u2019 lists. Therefore \u2018raw prevalence\u2019 for a clinical area is defined as: Raw prevalence = (number on clinical register / number on practice list) * 100<\/em><\/li>
  6. The objective of the QOF is to improve the quality of care patients are given by rewarding practices for the quality of care they provide to their patients. QOF is therefore an incentive payment scheme. Participation by practices is entirely voluntary, though participation rates are high.<\/li>
  7. As QOF registers are constructed to underpin indicators on quality of care, they do not necessarily equate to prevalence as may be defined by epidemiologists. For example, prevalence figures based on QOF registers may differ from prevalence figures from other sources because of coding or definitional issues.<\/li>

    The information is not available in the format requested. Such information as is available is shown in the following table. The Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) dataset contains information on referrals to IAPT services which provide talking therapies. Information is provided both for East Lancashire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and for all eight Lancashire CCGs combined for the year 2013-14. East Lancashire CCG includes Pendle constituency and the CCG is the smallest geographical breakdown available.<\/p>

    Notes:<\/em><\/p>

    <\/p>

    1<\/sup>In order to enter treatment a referral must have a first treatment appointment (an appointment with a therapy type recorded) in the year.<\/p>

    <\/p>

    2<\/sup>CCG is based on general practitioner (GP) Practice. Where GP Practice is not recorded, or cannot be assigned to a CCG, the referral is categorised as 'Unknown'.<\/p>

    <\/p>

    3<\/sup>Medians have been rounded up to the nearest whole number.<\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/strong><\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    Waiting time is measured by counting the number of days between a referral being received and the first treatment appointment. For 2013-14, the presence of a valid therapy type is used as an indicator of whether treatment was provided in the course of the appointment.<\/p><\/td>

    Entering treatment figures, except England totals, are rounded to the nearest 5.<\/p>

    <\/p>

    It is generally advised that the median is used as the most reliable measure of average waiting<\/p>

    time, as this accounts for any outliers in the data.<\/p>

    Since April 1 2013 NHS England has been responsible for commissioning Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) aids for patients with complex disability whose needs require specialised assessment, including for patients with motor neurone disease (MND). Commissioning of non-specialised AAC aids is the responsibility of local clinical commissioning groups.<\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    NHS England has published a service specification for specialised AAC aids that sets out what should be in place for providers to offer evidence-based, safe and effective services and supports equity of access to a nationally consistent, high quality service for patients across the country including in East Lancashire and the North West. The specification can be found at:<\/p>

    www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/d01-com-dis-equ-alt-aug-comm-aids.pdf<\/a><\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    NHS England has identified an additional £22.5 million funding for AAC and Environmental Controls in 2014-15. They have been working closely with the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA) to ensure this funding is equitably distributed across England in a fair and consistent manner. The MNDA are representing all patients on the panel which is reviewing this funding allocation.<\/p>
