Knee Replacements

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust,

Please can you let me know how many patients you had on your waiting list for at least one knee replacement on 1st October 2023.

Please could you also let me know how many of these patients had been waiting more than a year for a knee replacement?

Please could you let me know many NHS knee replacement patients have been transferred to a private medical hospital to have their procedure carried out in the following years: 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 thus far.

Many thanks

Dear Alicia,

 

We refer to your Freedom of Information request dated 18th October 2023 -
below.

 

Norfolk Community Health & Care NHS Trust is a community-based service and
does not carry out this service therefore this FOI request would not apply
to us. We would therefore suggest redirecting this to an Acute Trust.

 

The Trust provides a complaints procedure to deal with complaints about
the Trust’s handling of requests for information. If you feel you need to
make a complaint in the first instance you should contact our Complaints
Officer at:

 

Norfolk Community Health & Care NHS Trust

Norwich Community Hospital

Bowthorpe Road

Norwich

NR2 3TU

 

Email: [email address]

 

If you feel you have exhausted our internal complaints procedure, you also
have the right and may feel you wish to contact the Information
Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

 

With Regards
