Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), NHS Digital</p><p><em> </em></p><p>Notes:</p><p>-
Attendances do not represent the number of patients, as a person may attend a National
Health Service hospital on more than one occasion within the period.</p><p>- Data
for the CCGs containing the patient’s normal home address has been provided. This
does not necessarily reflect where the patient was treated as they may have travelled
to another area for treatment.</p><p>- The following four CCGs make up the Sheffield
City Region Combined Authority Area – data has been provided for each individual CCG
as well as the combined total for the Sheffield City area:</p><p>- NHS Barnsley CCG;</p><p>-
NHS Doncaster CCG;</p><p>- NHS Rotherham CCG; and</p><p>- NHS Sheffield CCG.</p><p>-
Due to disclosure control rules, NHS Digital must round sub-national HES data to the
nearest five, which explains why the sum of the individual CCG breakdown does not
match with the total figure for the Sheffield City Region Combined Authority Area.</p><p>-
HES figures are available from 2007-08 onwards. Changes to the figures over time should
be interpreted in the context of improvements in data quality and coverage and changes
in NHS practice. For example, changes in activity may be due to changes in the provision
of care.</p>
