Data notes
Overview
- Summary of dataset and variables
This spreadsheet contains mean and median data relating to time spent in emergency departments by local health board, Welsh hospitals and by age band. Data are updated on a monthly basis and are published from April 2012 onwards. Note that this data includes data for both Major and other emergency departments/minor injury units. However, the data presented in this table is for contextual purposes only as it does not include attendances for some minor injuries units in the Betsi Cadwaladr health board, where patient-level data cannot be obtained on a consistent basis as all other hospitals. Therefore the total number of attendances included in this analysis will be lower than those presented in the NHS Activity and Performance statistical release and associated StatsWales tables, as attendances in these publications are based on aggregated data that is collected from all hospitals.
- Data collection or calculation
From 1st April 2019 health service provision for residents of Bridgend local authority moved from Abertawe Bro Morgannwg to Cwm Taf. For more information see the joint statement from Cwm Taf and Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Boards (see weblinks). The health board names have changed with Cwm Taf University Health Board becoming Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board and Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board becoming Swansea Bay University Health Board. A link to the statement from the minister for health and social service can be found in the weblinks section. Cardigan Integrated Care Centre took over Cardigan and District Memorial Hospital from mid-December 2019. For December 2019, data was reported against both sites for the duration of time that they were open during the month.
