Annual Hospital Beds Information Edit

In order to provide an effective, safe and efficient service to patients, hospitals must balance the provision of staffed beds against anticipated demand. Historically, the total number of beds has been reducing in line with evolving models of healthcare provision which aim to reduce the frequency and duration of hospital admissions and improve the integration of health and social care services. This strategy aims to improve outcomes for patients and reduce the likelihood of future hospital admissions.\r\n\r\nFurther information on hospital beds can be found in the recent annual publication. \r\n\r\nThe date of the next release can be found on our list of forthcoming publications.\r\n\r\n__As part of making our open data output align better with our annual publication tables, we have applied column ordering to the Inpatient, Outpatient and Beds files in the September 2021 annual open data release consistent with the publication excel tables.__
