(1) From the year 2003-04 onwards the Princess Royal Hospital and the Royal Shrewsbury Hospitals merged into a single provider, the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust. (2) From the year 2002-03 onwards Shropshire Community and Mental Health Trust became Shropshire County PCT and Telford and Wrekin PCT. Notes: 1. Data Quality: Hospital episode statistics (HES) are compiled from data sent by over 300 NHS trusts and primary care trusts (PCTs) in England. The Information Centre for health and social care liaises closely with these organisations to encourage submission of complete and valid data and seeks to minimise inaccuracies and the effect of missing and invalid data via HES processes. While this brings about improvement over time, some shortcomings remain. 2. Finished consultant episode (FCE): An FCE is defined as a period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one health care provider. Please note that the figures do not represent the number of patients as a person may have more than one episode of care within the year. 3. 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. 4. Low numbers: Due to reasons of confidentiality, figures between 1 and 5 have been suppressed and replaced with "*" (an asterisk). To avoid calculation of suppressed values from the totals, the next lowest number has also been suppressed and replaced with an "*". 5. Ungrossed data: Figures have not been adjusted for shortfalls in data (i.e. the data are ungrossed). Source: Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), The Information Centre for health and social care. |
