Key: EIC = Enhanced Intermediate Care; * = statistically significant (p ≤ 0.05), compared to other localities and Total (not incl. Coastal) within year.
Note: Moor to Sea referrals were recorded differently after 2016 bringing it into line with other areas, possibly explaining the fall in cases. The locality boundary also changed but this was adjusted for.
