Notes:

  • 1. Admissions are defined as the first period of in-patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. Please note that admissions do not represent the number of in-patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the year.
  • 2. Figures have not yet been adjusted for shortfalls in data (i.e. the data is ungrossed).
  • 3. The primary diagnosis is the first of seven diagnosis fields in the HES data set, and provides the main reason why the patient was in hospital.
