Request Summary: Wet AMD
Request Category: Private Individuals
| Question Number 1: I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Please could you provide the below information: At the end of every wet AMD injection, what proportion of patients receive an immediate appointment for their next injection versus what proportion have to wait until additional capacity is available (e.g. after 2-3 days)? | |
| Answer To Question 1: For WET AMD patients if they need a 4w injection majority of the time they get immediately booked, however, if they need a 2w injection or sometimes capacity is too low for 4-week appointments they are put on an access plan until we are able to book them. Each week varies in terms of availability so we cannot provide the exact figures. | |
| Question Number 2: Number of wet AMD patients and injections being treated in your Trust over the last three financial years seen (ending March)? | |
| Answer To Question 2: Please see attached. To accompany this answer to question 2 please also see the documents listed below:  8309 Q2 Answer.xlsx | |
| Question Number 3: Number of wet AMD patients and injections being outsourced to each private provider (e.g. SpaMedica, NewMedica, Optegra, Practice Plus Group, Circle, Ramsay, Spire, etc.) over the last three financial years (ending March)? Please segment the injections by year and by private provider | |
