Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what data his Department plans to record on patient outcomes as part of the pilot Surgical Devices and Implants Data Collection; and what plans his Department has to hold that data in the final Surgical Device and Implant Registry.
The Surgical Devices and Implants Data Collection, which includes the Pelvic Floor Registry, is to support the development of a single Surgical Device and Implant Registry. This will enable the national reporting of the use of any surgical device or implant. The data collected, for inclusion in the relevant Surgical Devices and Implant Registry, will include post-surgical complications submitted by clinicians and outcome and complications recorded by patients via a patient questionnaire.
