Total attendances is the number of attendances at accident & emergency (A&E) departments and minor injury units. The type of A&E department is included under Supporting Facilities. Figures are submitted annually on form KH09 by each NHS Trust and provide a summary across all A&E sites within the Trust. Figures are sub-divided into first and follow-up attendances. A first attendance is the first for a given injury or condition - any other attendances at the same department for the same injury or condition are follow-up attendances.
