I presume this is what you need. More detail on the enclosed file.
2.a. A & E Attendances
Count:
· Total absolute numbers in the reporting period.
Defined as:
All attendances at Type 1 A&E departments (i.e. a consultant led 24 hour
service with full resuscitation facilities and designated accommodation for
the reception of accident and emergency patients), whether admitted or not,
that would be counted for completion of form KH09. Do not include nurse led
minor injury units.
Include unplanned follow up attendances but do not include planned follow up
attendances, e.g. to an A&E clinic.
The above I presume means New Patients + lodgers + unbooked returns.
