Information on attendances to accident and emergency departments and hospital admissions is not held in the format requested. Whilst some data on admissions of children aged 0 to four years old with a primary and secondary diagnosis of Respiratory Syncytial Virus are held, case numbers by hospital trust are not available in order to protect patient confidentiality.
