Thanks Annes (plural) and others for the replies regarding data on the
numbers of patients referred to surgeons who do go on to have surgery,
from last week's question.
The Public Health Observatories were also suggested - links to the
regional ones are on the Association of Public Health Observatories
site, at
http://www.apho.org.uk/
The NHS Information Centre didn't have the exact details required by my
enquirer, but have a lot of other useful information available on their
Statistics and Data Collections pages,
http://www.ic.nhs.uk/statistics-and-data-collections
(eg under Hospital care - Hospital activity)
The Benchmarking reports on the Primary Care Commissioning website
http://www.pcc.nhs.uk/449 require an organisational login

Hi
I have been looking for something similar for a one of my staff and have
found some useful material in the Benchmarking survey of primary care
2009 http://www.pcc.nhs.uk/449 -see PCT report.
"These reports and briefing documents are the results of a survey of
PCTs conducted by NHS PCC and NHS Benchmarking Network in 2008/09 and
published in July 2009. ....In all, 91 PCTs took part, representing more
than half of the UK population."
It includes 2007/8 data:
first OP attendance per 100,000 PCT population (average just below
30000) (slide 164) and
elective inpatient admissions per 100,000 PCT population (ave just over
4000) (slide 168)
You may be able to extrapolate from this.
best of luck
Anne
