To ask the Scottish Executive what percentage of admissions for heart-related hospital admissions was repeat admissions, broken down by NHS board in each of the last five years.

The answer

The following table shows the number of admissions and the number of repeat admissions for patients admitted with a heart-related diagnosis for the financial years ending 31 March 2006 and 2010, by NHS board of residence. A repeat admission is defined as a subsequent admission with a main diagnosis of a heart-related condition following a previous admission with a main diagnosis of a heart-related condition in the same financial year. If a patient has multiple repeat admissions then all of these are counted in the total number of repeat admissions. It should be noted that repeat admissions may be part of a planned course of treatment or may be unrelated to the previous hospital stay. Number of admissions and the number of repeat admissions for patients with a heart-related diagnosis for the financial years ending 31 March 2006 to 31 March 2010, by NHS board of residence. <table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 > <thead> <tr > <td width=168 nowrap valign=bottom > </td> <td width=203 nowrap valign=bottom > </td> <td width=280 nowrap colspan=5 valign=bottom > Financial Year Ending 31 March </td> </tr> <tr > <td width=168 nowrap valign=bottom > NHS Board of Residence </td> <td width=203 nowrap valign=bottom > </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 2006 </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 2007 </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 2008 </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 2009 </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 2010 </td> </tr> </thead> <tr > <td width=168 nowrap valign=bottom > NHS Scotland </td> <td width=203 nowrap valign=bottom > Number of Admissions </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 56,459 </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 54,478 </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 53,824 </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 52,749 </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 50,346 </td> </tr> <tr > <td width=168 nowrap valign=bottom > </td> <td width=203 nowrap valign=bottom > Number of Repeat Admissions </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 12,948 </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 12,527 </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 12,047 </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 11,658 </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 11,033 </td> </tr> <tr > <td width=168 nowrap valign=bottom > </td> <td width=203 nowrap valign=bottom > % of Repeat Admissions </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 22.9 </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 23.0 </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 22.4 </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 22.1 </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 21.9 </td> </tr> <tr > <td width=168 nowrap valign=bottom > NHS Ayrshire & Arran </td> <td width=203 nowrap valign=bottom > Number of Admissions </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 4,581 </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 4,171 </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 4,172 </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 4,137 </td> <td width=56 nowrap valign=bottom > 4,019 </td> </tr> <tr > <td width=168 nowrap valign=b
