Dear Mr Kurzer,

further to my latest email dated 29th August 2008, having contacted the
Information Department I have been provided with the following response to
your FOI request.

As you requested the most recent years for the data, although you stated
2005/06 and 2006/07, data for 2007/08 is also available, which I include
below. As the request did not specify a type of hernia, all types are
included below.

2005/06 2006/07 2007/08
SIMPLE EXCISION OF INGUINAL HERNIAL SAC 47 47 29
PRIMARY REPAIR OF INGUINAL HERNIA 739 611 389
REPAIR OF RECURRENT INGUINAL HERNIA 88 58 49
PRIMARY REPAIR OF FEMORAL HERNIA 43 35 27
REPAIR OF RECURRENT FEMORAL HERNIA 2 3 0

REPAIR OF OTHER HERNIA OF ABDOMINAL WALL 55 82 60
The opening of the ISTC (North East London Independent Sector Treatment
Centre) in January 2007, has resulted in a reduction in the number of
hernia operations performed.

I trust this information will conclude your request, but please contact me
if you have any outstanding queries.

Yours sincerely,
