Number of acute services with overnight beds in an area per 1,000 population (10323) Metric type
- Help text
- This metric is derived by the LGA (Local Government Association) from the CQC (Care Quality Commission's) Care Directory file, the file contains a complete list of the places in England where care is regulated by CQC. Using the National Statistics Postcode Lookup, we have counted the number of acute services with overnight beds located in an area and then created a crude rate per 1,000 resident population. These services are complex and vary greatly. Generally, however, they provide medical and/or surgical investigations, diagnosis and treatment for physical illness or condition, injury or disease.
They can provide services to adults, children or both. They may provide services to a broad range of people or to a particular group of people.
People are usually admitted to the service under the care of a medical or clinical practitioner. The service may also employ a broad range of healthcare professionals to meet the needs of the people using the service.
Some services may be smaller than others and may not provide the same range of acute services depending on the size of the hospital (for example, an accident and emergency department).
Examples of services that fit under this category:- NHS acute hospitals
- Independent acute hospitals
- Termination of pregnancy clinics
- NHS community hospitals
- Independent sector treatment centres (ISTCs)
- Community hospitals
- Cosmetic surgery clinics
- Specialist or single specialty hospitals
- Maternity hospitals.
- IVF clinics providing surgical treatment or endoscopy
- Haemodialysis units
- Minor injuries units.
Data are extracted once a quarter and provide a snapshot in time. It should be noted that due to changes to postcodes a small proportion cannot be matched to the latest National Statistics Postcode Lookup file and are therefore excluded from these figures.
