You asked
Do you have UK statistics showing total daily, weekly and/or monthly total hospitalisations (including Covid and non-covid patient) for 2020 and 2021?
We said
Thank you for your request.
We do not hold up-to-date information on hospitalisations.
Our data on hospital episodes is obtained from the Hospital Episode Statistics published by NHS Digital with an approximately 3 month delay.
Therefore, we use this data to determine pre-existing conditions and general health of individuals, but not to analyse recent hospitalisations due to COVID-19.
This data is held by NHS Digital, so they may be better placed to answer your query. They can be contacted via email at enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk and by telephone at 0300 303 5678.
UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) also publish data that could help answer your enquiry. They publish a weekly surveillance report which looks at the impact on hospitalisations, infection, vaccine effectiveness and COVID-19 mortality. They can be contacted on InformationRights@UKHSA.gov.uk
