Latest surgical activity data

The data in these reports is segmented by District Health Board (DHB), which no longer exist. This explanation will discuss DHBs, given the data that is available at the moment is from before 1 July 2022, when DHBs still existed.

For each DHB, five tables of information are available in PDF and Excel format – three that tell you about the publicly funded services received by people living in your DHB area (‘DHB of Domicile’), and two that tell you about the publicly funded services delivered by hospitals in your DHB area (‘DHB of Service’).

To understand these tables, it is important to read the explanatory information first.

These tables give information that tells you about the services received by people living in your DHB area (DHB of Domicile). Some of these services may have been provided by hospitals outside your DHB area.

• Patient Discharge and Case-weight Information
• Acute and Elective Patient Discharge Volumes
• Standardised Discharge Ratios
