| Notes: 1. Information is not collected on the number of patients treated at A&E departments. However, data on the number of attendances at A&E departments are available and published quarterly via the Department of Health's Quarterly Monitoring Accident and Emergency Services (QMAE) dataset. This includes patients who attended A&E but who were not subsequently treated and counts each attendance by the same patient separately. 2. Certain organisations merged during the submission periods of QMAE. These include: Closed in September 2007 (merge): St Mary's Hospital NHS Trust The Hammersmith Hospitals NHS Trust Opened October 2007: Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust Closed in March 2009 (merge): Queen Mary's Sidcup NHS Trust Bromley Hospitals NHS Trust Queen Elizabeth Hospital NHS Trust Opened April 2009: South London Healthcare NHS Trust 3. Primary care trusts manage services at Type 3 A&E Units (minor injury units, and walk-in centres) and also commission these services from the independent sector.
