The information requested is in the following tables.
These data include admissions in English national health service hospitals and English NHS commissioned activity in the independent sector. These data are not a count of ‘people’ as the same person may have been admitted on more than one occasion with one of the specified diagnosis codes. Those admitted with a primary diagnosis of poisoning by drugs, may also have had an additional secondary diagnosis of poisoning by drugs.
