Notes:
- The numbers of patients ‘seen’ and the numbers of patients ‘treated’ are the same, as all SARC attendances receive a form of treatment.
- Data was submitted manually prior to 2022/23. This required providers to record aggregated numbers against indicators and can be unreliable.
- The 2019/20 data is reported to December 2019. Due to COVID-19, the data between January and March 2020 was not collected or reported.
