Within HES, it is not possible to link the outpatient and admitted patient datasets to determine if an outpatient appointment is linked to a subsequent hip replacement. It is therefore only possible to show time waited between decision to admit and admission to hospital. A table of this data is attached.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton question first answered 24/10/2016 12:31:20 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton attachment 1 file name FORMATTED TABLE HL2125.pdf title Table of date HL2125
