Notes:

  1. 1. The figures for 1998–99 are provisional, no adjustment has as yet been made for shortfalls in data (ie the data are ungrossed).
  2. 2. An FCE is defined as a period of patient care under one consultant in one health care provider. The figures do not represent the number of patients, as one person may have several episodes within the year.
  3. 3. Hernia has been defined as OPCS codes T19–T21 inclusive.
