About Data
This section contains a brief introduction to the different statistics that are provided on the website. For those people who are comfortable with the paper publications that accompany this website there is also a guide to how each of the publications relates to the tables on the website. If after reading these guides you still have questions then you can contact the Hospital Activity team (the email and helpline is listed at the bottom of every page).

Statistics
This is the biggest and most important section of the site as it contains the available statistics for online viewing. This section is sub divided by financial year. The statistics for each year are made available by NHS Trust, Regional Office area and England. If you are not familiar with the statistics then it may be best to start with the About Data section to find out more about the data that is made available.

Time Series/Analysis
This section provides time series data and graphs/charts for selected statistics. These aim to provide a greater understanding of the statistics and to show the changes in hospital activity that have taken place over time.

Data Requests

If you cannot find what you are looking for then you can also make a data request by contacting the Hospital Activity team. Full contact details are made available in the 'Data requests' section.
