I propose to take Questions Nos. 657 and 659 to 661, inclusive, together.
The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the table below. The Department of Health considers that the 2011 HIPE file is not sufficiently complete for reporting purposes. Discharges continue to be added to the database. The Department expects to be able to report provisional 2011 data in July of 2012.
