¹ Data for NHS Scotland for 2010-11 are estimated to be only 95% complete. NHS Grampian and NHS Lanarkshire data are estimated to be 64% and 84% complete respectively. This is mainly due to the implementation of a new IT Patient Management System which has resulted in data submission backlogs for this time period. The NHS boards are working to resolve these submission issues.
