- How much spent on specialist bariatric equipment / breakdown of equipment
We are unable to answer this question at present. Bariatric Surgery is not a discrete service line from a financial reporting perspective, and as such the costs are not readily available. Bariatric patients will potentially have required care not just from General Surgery but also where admitted to other specialties for other conditions throughout the year.
- How many Bariatric beds does the Trust own
The Trust owns 1 Bariatric bed. All others are rented.
- Number of Bariatric patients admitted during 2013
203 patients admitted specifically for Bariatric surgery. However please note that there may have been Bariatric patients admitted for other conditions throughout the year and we are unable to provide these figures.
