This data is not available in the format requested. The following table shows the total activity, total cost and national average unit cost for all types of renal dialysis.

The activity count for renal dialysis is the number of sessions, not the number of patients. All data shown is for financial year 2016-17, the most recent year for which reference costs have been collected. National Health Service references costs data can be found at the following link:
