Publications
Publications and coronavirus (COVID-19) response
Read our data on coronavirus symptoms reported through NHS Pathways and 111 online
We are continuing to publish a range of statistical publications covering care, services and the health of patients and citizens that are unrelated to COVID-19.
However, certain sets of statistics may need to be postponed or suspended in order to free up analyst and potentially front line capacity for priority work.
Such decisions will be made based on quantitative and qualitative measures of usage and will be communicated with as much notice as possible.

A wide variety of subjects are covered, ranging from quality through to population health and the outcome of treatments.
