There is a delay in updating the data due to incomplete SMR02 data submission.  The latest published data covers the period to March 2005 and since we are unable to comply with the  National Statistics   guidelines, we are unable to provide an estimate for the next update.  ISD are working with the NHS Board concerned to resolve this.
