The information is not available in the format requested. Such information as is available is in the following table.
| Count of finished consultant episodes in which there was a primary or secondary diagnosis of obesity by primary care trust (PCT) in Kent, 2009-10 | |
|---|---|
| PCT | Total episodes |
| Eastern and Coastal Kent PCT | 1,532 |
| Medway PCT | 698 |
| West Kent PCT | 1,285 |
| Notes: | |
| 1. Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) does not hold data relating to costs and only holds obesity data for in-patient care in hospitals. Obesity-related care in a primary care setting is not included in these figures. | |
| 2. A count of finished consultant episodes is not the same as the number of patients; a person may have more than one episode of care in a given period. | |
| 3. Activity includes activity in English national health service hospitals and English NHS commissioned activity in the independent sector. | |
| 4. A finished consultant episode (FCE) is a continuous period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one health care provider. FCEs are counted against the year in which they end. Figures do not represent the number of different patients, as a person may have more than one episode of care within the same stay in hospital or in different stays in the same year. | |
| 5. Number of episodes in which the patient had a (named) primary or secondary diagnosis: the number of episodes where this diagnosis was recorded in any of the 20 (14 from 2002-03 to 2006-07 and seven prior to 2002-03), primary and secondary diagnosis fields in an HES record. Each episode is only counted once, even if the diagnosis is recorded in more than one diagnosis field of the record. The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) code used to identify obesity is E66. | |
| 6. Data quality: HES are compiled from data sent by more than 300 NHS trusts and PCTs in England and from some independent sector organisations for activity commissioned by the English NHS. The NHS Information Centre for health and social care liaises closely with these organisations to encourage submission of complete and valid data and seeks to minimise inaccuracies. While this brings about improvement over time, some shortcomings remain. | |

There are no plans to allocate extra resources to Darent Valley hospital for this purpose, as, under the Payment by Results system, hospitals are paid by commissioners for all activity within the scope of the national tariff, adjusted by the Market Forces Factor to take account of unavoidable local cost differences. As tariff payments follow the patient, an increase in activity at Darent Valley hospital would result in it attracting tariff payments that it otherwise would not have received had those patients been treated elsewhere.

The Department has worked with strategic health authorities to ensure that the national health service has robust arrangements in place across local health and social care areas to deal with the additional pressures winter can bring. Since the autumn, the NHS has been working with its partners locally to address the challenges they will face during the course of the forthcoming winter.

The cumulative number of consultants in receipt of an award with a cash value of £35,000 or more in the last five years is shown in the following table:
| Award year | Number of consultants |
| 2006 | 1,538 |
| 2007 | 1,531 |
| 2008 | 1,681 |
| 2009 | 3,494 |
| 2010 | 4,787 |
| Notes: 1. The figures above show all consultants in receipt of an award with a full-time cash value over £35,000. Awards are paid pro rata. 2. The significant increase in 2009 is due to the cash value of bronze/level nine awards increasing above the £35,000 threshold. However, prior to the link to the national health service electronic staff record in January 2010, the Advisory Committee on Clinical Excellence Awards did not hold verified data on consultants holding level nine awards funded by their employers (local employer based awards). The actual total figure for 2009 will be higher than shown. 3. The new verified level nine data are included in 2010, which explains the significant increase for that year. 4. On 20 August 2010 the Secretary of State for Health announced a United Kingdom wide review of compensation levels, incentives and the Clinical Excellence and Distinction Award Schemes for NHS consultants. The review is being led by the Review Body on Doctors' and Dentists' Remuneration (DDRB). The DDRB has been asked to submit recommendations to UK Ministers by July 2011. |

The total national health service spend in England for national clinical excellence and distinction awards for the last financial years for which figures are available is shown in the following table.
| Financial year | Spend (£ million) |
| 2006-07 | 178 |
| 2007-08 | 190 |
| 2008-09 | 180 |
| 2009-10 | 202 |
| 2010-11 | n/a |
| Notes: 1. The information above does not include information on local clinical excellence awards (employer based awards) which are paid by trusts. This information is not held centrally. 2. The information above does not include national clinical excellence awards that are paid from central funds to consultants holding a NHS contract and employed in the Department or arm's length bodies. 3. The reduction in expenditure in 2008-09 reflected a scrutiny exercise which identified a number of consultants who had retired without notifying the Advisory Committee on Clinical Excellence Awards (any excess payments in 2007-08 were to trusts only and those monies were available for patient care. No consultants received payment to which they were not entitled). 4. On 20 August 2010 the Secretary of State for Health announced a United Kingdom wide review of compensation levels, incentives and the Clinical Excellence and Distinction Award Schemes for NHS consultants. The review is being led by the Review Body on Doctors' and Dentists' Remuneration (DDRB). The DDRB has been asked to submit recommendations to UK Ministers by July 2011. |

The information is not available in the format requested. Such information as is available is in the following table:
| Attendances at Type 1 Accident and Emergency (A&E) Departments, Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust (Darent Valley Hospital), 2005-06 to 2009-10 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| First attendances | Follow-up attendances | Total attendances | |
| 2005-06 | 64,544 | 4,090 | 68,634 |
| 2006-07 | 61,102 | 3,353 | 64,455 |

| 2009-10 | 46,063 | 3,424 | 49,487 |
| Notes: 1. The Department collects this data from NHS trusts rather than hospital sites. 2. Information is not collected on the number of patients treated at A&E departments. However, data on the number of attendances at A&E departments are available and published quarterly via the Department's QMAE dataset. This includes patients who attended A&E but who were not subsequently treated and counts each attendance by the same patient separately. 3. Definition of a Type 1 A&E department: A consultant-led 24-hour service with full resuscitation facilities and designated accommodation for the reception of accident and emergency patients.
