The information is not available in the format requested. However, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) publishes data for hospitalisations for COVID-19, which is available at the following link:

This analysis is based on data from a sentinel network of acute National Health Service trusts in England contributing enhanced data. As Omicron is now the dominant strain within England, the UKHSA is no longer separately reporting statistics for the Omicron variant.
