Diseases: Babies and Children
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what information his Department holds on what the (a) most common illnesses and (b) incidence of each of those illnesses experienced by babies and children in temporary accommodation were in the latest period for which data is available.
Answered by Andrew Gwynne
The Department does not hold specific data on the most common illnesses, or the incidence of illnesses experienced by babies and children specifically in temporary accommodation. However, general data on hospital admissions for all children, including babies, is published by NHS England in the Hospital Admitted Patient Care Activity reports. These reports provide detailed information on admissions and episodes by primary diagnosis.
