NHS Brent CCG
The proportion of neurology admissions that are emergencies is above
average, and patients with epilepsy, CNS infections, migraine headache
and nervous system tumours have particularly high proportions of
emergency admissions. This may indicate that better management of
neurology admissions is needed. However, positively, trends show that
the proportion of emergency admissions has been decreasing while
elective admissions are on the rise.
Comments
Positively, use of emergency bed days by neurology patients is low
compared to the London average, and length of stay has been declining.
Brent CCG has a low neurology budget compared to other CCGs in
London, and spends two thirds of the budget in secondary care. Spend
per neurology patient is lower than the London average, particularly for
emergency admissions and admissions for epilepsy, CNS infections and
Parkinson’s disease. Less money is spent on neurology patients
compared to other budget categories such as circulation, cancer,
respiratory problems or gastro-intestinal problems.
11% of neurology outpatients did not attend their appointment in 2012-
13, which is significantly higher than other CCGs in London as well as
higher than non-attendance rates for other specialisms. While 99% of
neurology outpatients are treated within 18 weeks of referral, both
neurology and neurosurgery outpatients wait longer for treatment than
the London average.

Appendix 1: What are the main comorbidities for neurological conditions?
Comorbidities are very common in patients with neurological conditions. The following is an overview of the main comorbidities where neurological conditions were the secondary diagnosis (data represents
number of patients with the comorbidity condition). Due to small numbers, it would not be reliable to present this data at CCG level and so it is presented for the entire London region.
The data gives an indication of conditions which people with neurological conditions are commonly admitted to hospital with and therefore where care pathways could be improved. For instance, following an
audit at UCLH by Neurological Commissioning Support which identified that patients with multiple sclerosis were commonly admitted to hospital with UTIs, a working group led by Bernadette Porter (UCL) is
investigating the UTI pathway so that unnecessary admittances to hospital can be decreased through better management of patients with multiple sclerosis.

HES inpatient data and ONS population statistics are generally considered to be complete and

these cases may represent admissions for observation due to observed symptoms following an
external cause event. There may be differences in admission thresholds. There may be variation
between Trusts in the way hospital admissions are coded. There may be variation in data recording

Below is a breakdown of the 12 care settings:
Prevention & health promotion: Includes primary & secondary prevention, health promotion,
family planning, school health services, national screening programmes, public health programmes
for communicable and non-communicable disease, epidemiological surveillance and public health
administration.
Primary care: Primary care costs relating services provided by GPs, primary dental services and
primary ophthalmic services, excluding those which relate to prevention/health promotion.
Primary prescribing: Primary care activity relating to prescribing or pharmaceutical services,
excluding those which relate to prevention/health promotion. Inpatient elective & day case: Admitted patient care activity which takes place in a hospital setting
where the admission was elective or as a day-case.Inpatient non-elective: Admitted patient care activity which takes place in a hospital setting where
the admission was as an emergency/non-elective.Outpatient: Outpatient attendances or procedures.Other secondary care: Activity included with this setting will include direct access services,
unbundled services (excluding critical care) and secondary care services which cannot be allocated
to more specific settings. Mental Health secondary care services should also be included within this
care setting.
Ambulance: Urgent and emergency transport, i.e. Ambulance activity and 111 expenditure.
A&E: Activity which takes place within A&E departments and minor injury units.
Community care: Care delivered outside of a hospital and within local communities. Activity carried
out within community hospitals should be classified as secondary care activity.
Care provided in other setting: All other health and social care services which are not included
within the other health settings. Includes prison healthcare, nursing homes, hospice care.
Continuing care, intermediate care, respite care, free nursing care should be included within this
setting. Social care and learning disability services should be included within this setting unless
otherwise specified by the mappings.
Non health / social care: Expenditure which is not related to the commissioning or provision of
health / social care services (e.g.. costs relating to facilities & estates).

The median is the 50th percentile or the mid-point of the RTT waiting times distribution. It is the
time that 50% of patients waited less than, e.g. the waiting time of the middle patient if you lined
them up from shortest wait to longest wait.
Median waiting times are calculated from aggregate data, rather than patients level data, and
therefore are only estimates of the position on average waits. Median waiting times are not
calculated when there are less than 50 pathways in the month.
