Miss Kirkbride: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many operations were cancelled at the Worcestershire NHS Trust hospital (a) for medical reasons and (b) because of a lack of beds in each year between 1997 and 2005. [224821] Dr. Ladyman: The information is not available in the format requested. The table shows cancelled operations for non clinical reasons at Worcestershire Acute Hospitals National Health Service Trust for the years 2001-02, 2002-03, 2003-04 and 2004-051. _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Notes: 1. Data prior to 2001-02 were only collected at health authority level. There is no breakdown by trust. 2. A last minute cancellation is one that occurs on the day the patient was due to arrive, after they have arrived in hospital or on the day of their operation. This includes patients who have not actually arrived in hospital and have been telephoned at home prior to their arrival. 3. Non-clinical reasons for cancellations by the hospital include: ward beds unavailable; surgeon unavailable; emergency case needing theatre; theatre list over-ran; equipment failure; admin. error; anaesthetist unavailable; theatre staff unavailable; and critical care bed unavailable. These examples are based on information from the Modernisation Agency's theatres project and do not necessarily cover all non-clinical reason.

Mr. Burstow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) how many NHS trusts have the necessary (a) facilities and (b) staff to fit digital hearing aids; [222190] (2) if he will make a statement on the process for assessing the quality of audiology services in hospitals; [222191] (3) what measures were taken to prepare primary care trusts for the modernising hearing aid services programme; and if he will make a statement; [222192] (4) what plans he has to collate centrally statistics on waiting times relating to the modernising hearing aid service project; and if he will make a statement. [222193] Dr. Ladyman: The Department has invested £125 million into the modernising hearing aid services (MHAS) project since it started in September 2000. This project is being managed on behalf of the Department by the Royal National Institute for the Deaf (RNID). All national health service audiology departments, which are part of the MHAS project, within England have a named lead primary care trust (PCT) which acts on behalf of all those PCTs which commission audiology services from each NHS trust. In spring 2004, the RNID undertook a comprehensive series of 26 seminars across England to promote the benefits of the MHAS project. All PCTs and strategic health authorities were invited to attend these events. 95 per cent. of all NHS audiology departments in England are fitting digital hearing aids routinely to those people they have diagnosed as suitable and the few remaining departments will be offering the service by the end of March 2005. The Healthcare Commission is responsible for regulating and inspecting NHS services, including audiology services. There are no plans to centrally collate statistics on waiting times.

Mr. Hurst: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the average waiting times for patients undergoing cataract operations at Broomfield hospital, Chelmsford, Essex were in each year from 1990 to 2004. [221954] Dr. Ladyman: Information is not collected by individual hospital. The number of days patients wait for cataract operations at Mid Essex hospitals national health service trust, of which Broomfield hospital is a part, for each year from 1992-93 to 2003-04 are shown in the table. Data prior to 1992 is not held centrally. _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Median waiting time (days) 1992-93 277 1993-94 262 1994-95 257 1995-96 201 1996-97 273 1997-98 293 1998-99 371 1999-2000 349 2000-01 332 2001-02 328 2002-03 333 2003-04 218 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Notes: 1. The main operation is the first recorded operation in the hospital episode statistics (HES) data set and is usually the most resource intensive procedure performed during the episode. It is appropriate to use main operation when looking at admission details, e.g. time waited, but the figures for "all operations count of episodes" give a more complete count of episodes with an operation. Cataracts operations defined as 071,072,074,075 (OPCS4 Procedure). 2. A finished in-year admission is the first period of in-patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider, excluding admissions beginning before 1 April at the start of the data-year. Please note that admissions do not represent the number of in- patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the year. 3. Time waited statistics from HES are not the same as the published waiting list statistics. HES provides counts and time waited for all patients admitted to hospital within a given period, whereas the published waiting list statistics count those waiting for treatment on a specific date and how long they have been on the waiting list. Also, HES calculates the time waited as the difference between the admission and decision to admit dates. Unlike published waiting list statistics, this is not adjusted for self- deferrals or periods of medical/social suspension. 4. Figures have not been adjusted for shortfalls in data (i.e. the data are ungrossed) Source: HES, Department of Health.
