Chris Grayling: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the level of deaths from deep vein thrombosis among NHS patients. [222205] Miss Melanie Johnson: Virtually all deaths from deep vein thrombosis occur as a result of a pulmonary embolism and most pulmonary embolisms arise from deep vein thrombosis in the leg. However, the precise description of this sequence of events leading to death, as provided on the death certificate, affects whether the death is coded as pulmonary embolism or thrombosis. Therefore, a figure combining the two causes is shown in the table. Number of deaths from pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis1, persons, England and Wales, 1998-2003 2 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Calendar year Number of deaths 1998 6,992 1999 6,877 2000 7,233 2001 7,207 2002 7,099 2003 7,361 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1 The cause of death was defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) codes 415.1, 451.1, 451.2, 451.9 and 453.9 for the years 1998 to 2000 and, for the years 2001 to 2003, the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes 126, 180.1, 180.2, 180.3, 180.9 and 182.9. 2 Figures are for deaths occurring in each calendar year. The Government have noted the recent report published by the Health Committee into the prevention of venous thromboembolism in hospitalised patients and will provide a full response in due course.

Chris Grayling: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what discussions he had with outside bodies (a) in the UK and (b) abroad about the introduction of an integrated care records system. [134357] Mr. Hutton: Discussions have taken place with numerous stakeholders across Government Departments and the national health service through Royal Colleges, the NHS Confederation and other professional and representative bodies. The recent meetings of the national clinical advisory board and the patient advisory board are major steps to improving the direct engagement and involvement of key clinical stakeholders and patient and carer representatives. The national clinical advisory board is chaired by Professor Peter Hutton, Chairman of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges. It consists of representatives from some 30 branches of the health service, including general practices, consultants, nurses, dentists, health visitors, midwives and pharmacists. It will meet every three months but will carry out work in between in sub-committees, providing the national programme with structured input from health care professionals. The public advisory board is chaired by Marlene Winfield OBE, Head of Public Engagement for the national programme for information technology. The membership is made up of individuals drawn from groups such as the Patients Association, the Long-term Medical Conditions Alliance, Help the Aged, Mencap, Islington Health and Race Forum, Carers UK, the National Consumer Council and the Consumer's Association. It will initially meet every two months and will help to give detailed and structured input into the national programme. Discussions are on-going with the health departments of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Finally we have held discussions with other jurisdictions including but not limited to the United States of America and several European countries.
