<p>The information is not available in the format requested.</p><p> </p><p>Information
on the number of finished admission episodes (FAEs) with a patient classification
of "day case" for patients aged between 0 and 17 (inclusive) treated at
Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust for each year since 2009-10 is shown in the
following table:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Count of
FAEs</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009-10</p></td><td><p>828</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010-11</p></td><td><p>748</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011-12</p></td><td><p>701</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012-13</p></td><td><p>829</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14
(provisional)</p></td><td><p>729</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><em>Notes:</em></p><p>1.
FAE:</p><p>An 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><p>2. Hospital
Provider:</p><p>A provider code is a unique code that identifies an organisation acting
as a health care provider (e.g. National Health Service trust or primary care trust).
Data from some independent sector providers, where the onus for arrangement of dataflows
is on the commissioner, may be missing. Care must be taken when using this data as
the counts may be lower than true figures.</p><p>3. Assessing growth through time
(Admitted patient care):</p><p>Hospital Episode Statistics figures are available from
1989-90 onwards. Changes to the figures over time need to be interpreted in the context
of improvements in data quality and coverage (particularly in earlier years), improvements
in coverage of independent sector activity (particularly from 2006-07) and changes
in NHS practice. For example, changes in activity may be due to changes in the provision
of care.</p><p>4. Provisional data:</p><p>The data is provisional and may be incomplete
or contain errors for which no adjustments have yet been made. Counts produced from
provisional data are likely to be lower than those generated for the same period in
the final dataset. This shortfall will be most pronounced in the final month of the
latest period, i.e. November from the (month 9) April to November extract. It is also
probable that clinical data are not complete, which may in particular affect the last
two months of any given period. There may also be errors due to coding inconsistencies
that have not yet been investigated and corrected.</p><p> </p><p><em>Source:</em>Hospital
