Notes: Finished consultant episode (FCE) A FCE is defined as a period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one health care provider. The figures do not represent the number of patients, as a person may have more than one episode of care within the year. Ungrossed data Figures have not been adjusted for shortfalls in data, that is the data is ungrossed. Low numbers Due to reasons of confidentiality, figures between 1 and 5 have been suppressed and replaced with ““*”” (an asterisk).
