Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the average yearly cost per patient is of dialysis treatment and management.
This data is not available in the format requested. The following table shows the total activity, total cost and national average unit cost for all types of renal dialysis.
The activity count for renal dialysis is the number of sessions, not the number of patients. All data shown is for financial year 2016-17, the most recent year for which reference costs have been collected. National Health Service references costs data can be found at the following link:

Activity | National Average Cost for 2016/17 | Total Cost |
4,240,850 | £133.88 | £567,754,893 |
The individual Healthcare Resource Groups (HRGs) which make up these data can be found in the following table.
