Colonoscopy
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the potential cost to the public purse is of diagnostic colonoscopies per foundation trust in each year since since 2020.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The attached table shows the potential cost to the public purse of diagnostic colonoscopies per foundation trust, each year since 2020, as well as the spend across all National Health Service foundation trusts for two groups of patient activity, specifically: a diagnostic colonoscopy with a biopsy, for those aged 19 years old and over; and just a diagnostic colonoscopy, for those aged 19 years old and over.
