Note:
The information relating to 2002–03 and 2003–04 are estimates based on previous costs, rather than actual figures.
Information for the last five years on the number of episodes of admitted care for patients normally resident in Scotland treated in England, split by NHS trust in England, is available. Given the lengthy nature of this information, I have placed it in the House Library. This information relates to admissions to hospitals: treatment in accident and emergency clinics and outpatient attendances are not included.
