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. Figures do not represent the number of different patients, as a person may have more than one episode of care within the same stay in hospital or in different stays in the same year.
To protect patient confidentiality, figures between one and five have been replaced with an asterisk. Where it was still possible to identify figures from the total, additional figures have been replaced with an asterisk.
