Notes:
There is no data for 2020/21 as this information was not collected during the reduced reporting requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic.
It should be noted that over a ten-year period, there may well have been developments in the reporting and coding of data which could impact on the comparability between years so this should be considered when reviewing the numbers.
