Accident & Emergency (A&E) National Comparative
The Accident & Emergency (A&E) National Comparative data mart provides information about patients who are resident or treated by the NHS in Scotland. Data held in the data mart is drawn from submissions made by NHS Boards to the Information Services Division (ISD) on patient attendances at Emergency Departments, Minor Injuries Units and community hospital A&Es. Users of the data mart will have access to data for all Boards and not just their own.
