| $ | Due to an issue with HES coding in East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust in 2018/19, for which approximately 85,000 records erroneously had all diagnosis codes removed, this value should be treated with caution. In 2018/19, between 1 to 10% of patients that attended hospital from this area had records that were missing diagnosis codes |
