Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what estimate he has made of the number of day beds available to interventional radiology patients.
This information is not held centrally. National data is held on the total number of day beds available across a wide number of clinical interventions.
The latest data for Quarter 2 of 2017/18 shows the average daily number of day only beds was 12,379.
Further data surrounding bed availability is published online by NHS England at:
