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.

Accessing HES
The HES publications focus on headline information about hospital activity. Each annual publication includes a series of national tables and also provider-level breakdowns for some main areas.
All data items included in the published tables are explained in footnotes, and NHS England publish data dictionaries for HES describing the format and possible values for all HES data items.
These data are also accessible via an online interrogation service (for NHS users) or via our bespoke extract service Data Access Request Service (DARS).
