  2. Numbers exclude one record with ordering anomalies that affect judgement on whether condition pre-existed.
  3. Figures for England and Wales (combined) include deaths of non-residents. However, all other geographical breakdowns exclude deaths of non-residents and boundaries are based on the most up-to-date information available at time of publication.
