Notes:

1. Finished Consultant Episode (FCE): Both tables show FCEs. An FCE is a continuous period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. FCEs are counted against the year in which they end. The figures do not represent the number of different patients, as a person.

2. The data should not be described as a count of people as the same person may have been admitted on one or more occasion.

3. †Providers that are not based in England have been removed, and therefore the national totals may not be equal to the sum of the regional totals.

4. To protect patient confidentiality, figures between 1 and 5 have been replaced with “*” (an asterisk). Where it was still possible to identify figures from the total, additional figures have been replaced with "*”.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Robert Halfon on 2014-06-26.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the cost was of NHS knee replacement operations and subsequent revisions in England in the last three years.

Jane Ellison

The information requested is not held centrally.

Such information as is available is from reference costs, which are the average cost to National Health Service trusts and NHS foundation trusts of providing defined services in a given financial year to NHS patients. Reference costs for acute care are collected by Healthcare Resource Groups (HRGs), which are standard groupings of clinically similar treatments that consume common levels of healthcare resource. The HRGs in the attached table therefore include the costs of other knee procedures in addition to knee replacements.
