Freedom of Information Request: 0328

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB) completed a merger by acquisition of Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust (HEFT) on 1st April 2018.   UHB includes Birmingham Heartlands Hospital, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, Solihull Hospital and Community Services, Good Hope Hospital in Sutton Coldfield and Birmingham Chest Clinic.

 For the purposes of this request we have answered on behalf of the whole Trust.

Under the FOI can you tell me currently how many patients the TMJ surgeons have on their lists please and how many are on the theatre list at present.

We have two surgeons who undertake TMJ surgery at QEHB. They currently have a total of 34 patients on their lists awaiting surgery.

The number operated on is fluid as it is dependant upon each individual case.
