To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many (a) children and (b) adults have been hospitalised as a result of chickenpox in each of the last five years.
This question was answered on 6th May 2020
Chickenpox is not a notifiable disease in England, therefore data on the exact number of people diagnosed with chickenpox are not available.
A count of finished admission episodes with a primary diagnosis of chickenpox in England for the financial years 2014-15 to 2018-19, provided by NHS Digital, is attached.
