Notes: 1. Admissions--admissions are defined as the first period of in- patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. Please note that admissions do not represent the number of in- patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the year. 2. Diagnosis (primary diagnosis)--the primary diagnosis is the first of up to 14 (seven prior to 2002-03) diagnosis fields in the Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) data set and provides the main reason why the patient was in hospital. 3. Grossing--figures have not (yet) been adjusted for shortfalls in data (ie the data are ungrossed). 4. Since data is residency based, figures between one and six do not need to be suppressed as authorised by the Security and Confidentiality Group (SCAG). 5. Prior to 1996-97 there were differences in organisational formation and/or how diagnosis data was collected meaning that data would not be comparable with those years given.
