Source: Hospital Inpatient Enquiry (HIPE)
Notes:
Data refer to discharges from publicly funded acute hospitals, and are based on HIPE data received to End of July 2012.
The 2011 HIPE file is considered to be sufficiently complete for reporting purposes. The coverage is estimated to be in excess of 98%. However this varies among hospitals. In particular note that the coverage for Cork University Hospital is approximately 97%; the coverage for Roscommon County Hospital is less than 2%, and Bantry General Hospital did not report any HIPE data in 2011.
For reasons of confidentiality, cells with between 1 and 4 cases are displayed as <5
