Notes:
Total procedures.
These figures represent a count of all FCE’s where the procedure was mentioned in any of the 12 (four prior to 2002-03) operation fields in a HES record.
In-patients.
In-patients are defined as patients who are admitted to hospital and occupy a bed, including both admissions where an overnight stay is planned and day cases. Many operations take place in an outpatient setting and HES does not capture these figures therefore do not represent the total number of operations performed by this trust.
Ungrossed Data.
Figures have not been adjusted for shortfalls in data (i.e. the data are ungrossed)
