Footnotes
1. Annual total number of bed days available divided
by the number of days in the year. Figures for 1996-97 exclude
beds in paediatric intensive care wards, as these were not counted
in previous years.
2. Number of finished consultant episodes for ordinary
admissions per available bed. Figures exclude well babies, because
the beds data exclude neonatal cots.
3. General and acute is defined as acute plus geriatric
(excluding well babies for ordinary admissions).
4. 1986 figures for Day only beds are the number of beds
in day case units only.
5. 1996-97 is the first year for the collection of Bed
Occupancy figures.
6. A revised return in 1996-97 included a count of NHS
managed beds in residential care. Several Trusts reclassified
beds previously counted as learning disability beds in hospital,
and counted them as residential.
