Notes:

1. Finished Consultant Episode (FCE): Both tables show FCEs. An FCE is a continuous period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. FCEs are counted against the year in which they end. The figures do not represent the number of different patients, as a person.

2. The data should not be described as a count of people as the same person may have been admitted on one or more occasion.

3. †Providers that are not based in England have been removed, and therefore the national totals may not be equal to the sum of the regional totals.

4. To protect patient confidentiality, figures between 1 and 5 have been replaced with “*” (an asterisk). Where it was still possible to identify figures from the total, additional figures have been replaced with "*”.
