Notes:
1. Finished admission episodes
A finished admission episode (FAE) is the first period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. FAEs are counted against the year or month in which the admission episode finishes. Admissions do not represent the number of patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the period.
2. The data held in HES is a count of hospital attendances, not individual patients as the same person may have been admitted into a NHS Hospital on more than one occasion.
- Data is not shown when numbers are five or less:
* represents one-five counts of hospital attendances
