In light of the recent Service Restriction Policy put in place by Basildon and Brentwood CCG in July, we would like to know: The number of hip replacements carried out by your CCG in each of the following years:
NHS Stockport CCG is a commissioner, not a provider, and as such, we do not carry out any surgeries. In the financial years 2013, 2014 and 2015, the provider organisations we commissioned carried out the following numbers of primary hip replacements:
Financial Year | Activity |
2013 | 393 |
2014 | 417 |
2015 | 443 |
2. The number of referrals for hip replacements to your CCG that have been rejected in the same years. 2013, 2014, 2015. Referrals are received by provider organisations, not by the CCG. The aggregate information on referrals held by the CCG cannot be broken down by procedure.
3. Has your eligibility criteria for who can/cannot have a hip replacement changed since 2013? No
