Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to Answer of 6 December 2018 to Question 117811 and the Answer of 3 December 2018 to Question 198230 on Hospitals: Admissions for what reason the data is no longer held in the format requested.

As stated in the answer to Question 117811, there is no source of admissions code available that specifically identifies admissions from a nursing home setting. Patients living in nursing homes or residential care may have their source of admission recorded as 'usual place of residence' by the provider. However, it is not possible to identify how many care or nursing home residents are included within this category.
