Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the cost of backlog maintenance for each level of assessed risk was in the NHS (a) in total and (b) for each NHS organisation in each of the last three years.
The backlog maintenance cost reported by the National Health Service in total for the last three years is:
| 2013-14 £ million | 2014-15 £ million | 2015-16 £ million |
High risk | 357 | 458 | 776 |
Significant risk | 1,017 | 1,062 | 1,568 |
Moderate risk | 1,427 | 1,551 | 1,516 |
Low risk | 1,242 | 1,267 | 1,115 |
Total | 4,043 | 4,338 | 4,975 |
The data for each NHS organisation is attached.
The Department collects data on backlog maintenance annually from NHS trusts through the Estates Returns Information Collection. The data collected has not been amended centrally and its accuracy always remains the responsibility of the NHS organisations concerned.
