File Change Notice - 03/10/2024

An alignment error was identified on the 4 Character Primary Diagnosis tab of the Diagnosis Excel file which resulted in the column headers being mis-aligned with the data below. As a result the data in the Diagnosis csv file was also incorrect.

An issue was also identified in the Procedures and Interventions tables where the data was showing counts of episodes for the All Procedures tables rather than counts of the number of procedures.

Updated files have now been attached to this page. Users who downloaded the Diagnosis files before 14:00 on the 03/10/2024 will need to re-download the files.
