Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many admissions to hospital for cold-related illnesses of people aged (a) 0 to 14 years, (b) 15 to 19 years, (c) 20 to 64 years and (d) 65 and over there have been in each of the last 10 years.

This information is not available in the format requested. The Health and Social Care Information Centre has advised that the term 'cold-related illness' is too broad to be indexed in the classification system used within the Hospital Episode Statistics database.
