<p>NHS England collects data on the number of people admitted to hospital with a palliative
care diagnosis. However, this does not clearly indicate the reason for admission.
The following table shows the numbers of patients identified as being admitted to
hospital and having a palliative care diagnosis, for each of the past five years:</p><p>
</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Palliative care diagnosis</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018/19</p></td><td><p>94,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019/20</p></td><td><p>98,052</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020/21</p></td><td><p>98,736</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021/22</p></td><td><p>102,032</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2022/23</p></td><td><p>102,795</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
