Pulmonary Rehab Services

The request was partially successful.

Dear NHS Sunderland Clinical Commissioning Group,

I'd like to please request the following information with regards to the pulmonary rehab services your patients have access to.

1) Who commissions the Pulmonary Rehab services your patients have access to and who provides these services?

2) When did the services first commence?

3) How many patients have been referred to the service in the last 12 months and 24 months of data held?

4) Of these being referred how many have actually attended the service in these same time periods?

5) How long does the average patient stay within the services?

6) What is the current waiting list size for the service?

7) What is the current remaining contract durations for these services?

8) Has the CCG ever commissioned Digital Respiratory Services?

If so were these for Pulmonary Rehab?

If so who were the providers?

If so how many patients have utilised this digital element?

Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions.

Yours faithfully,

Oliver Caswell
