<p>NHS Digital data details the count of finished admission episodes (FAEs) with a
primary diagnosis of diabetes and a primary procedure of amputation, for the financial
years between 2013-14 and 2017-18.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td
colspan="5"><p>Financial year</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>2015-16</p></td><td><p>2016-17</p></td><td><p>2017-18</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>FAEs</p></td><td><p>1,002</p></td><td><p>1,080</p></td><td><p>1,222</p></td><td><p>1,395</p></td><td><p>1,497</p></td></tr><tr><td

</p><p>A FAE is the first period of admitted patient care under one consultant within
one healthcare provider. FAEs are counted against the year or month in which the admission
episode finishes. Admissions do not represent the number of patients, as a person
may have more than one admission within the period.</p>
