NHS Lewisham CCG
A high proportion of neurology admissions are on an emergency basis,
and patients with epilepsy, CNS infections and migraine headache have
particularly high proportions of emergency admissions. The emergency
admission rate for epilepsy is much higher than the London average.
This may indicate that better management of neurology admissions is
needed. Positively however, the proportion of admissions that are
emergencies has been decreasing over the past 3 years.
Comments
While neurology inpatients are staying in hospital slightly shorter than
the London average, there are more bed days than expected for
patients with migraine headache and Parkinson’s disease who enter
hospital on an emergency basis.
Lewisham CCG’s neurology budget is slightly higher than the London
average. Slightly less of the budget is spent on secondary care than the
London average (52%) while more is spent on community care. Spend
per neurology inpatient is slightly lower than the London benchmark
and less money is spent on neurology patients compared to other
budget categories such as circulation, respiratory problems or
musculoskeletal problems.
15% of neurology outpatients did not attend their appointment in 2012-
13, which is higher than the London average and also higher than non-
attendance rates for other specialisms. While 100% of neurology
outpatients are being treated within 18 weeks of referral, neurosurgery
specialisms are falling far short of the target (at 60%) and neurosurgery
outpatients wait much longer for treatment.

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.

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.
