NHS hospitals dealt with 15.1 million admissions in 2012-13 - or about 41,500 admissions per day on average across England, new figures from the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) show.

For admissions per day this is a 1.1 per cent rise on 2011-12 (15.0 million in total, or 41,000 per day) and a 12.7 per cent rise on 2007-08 (13.5 million, or 36,800 per day).

The hospital trusts with the greatest number of admissions in 2012-13 were Barts Health NHS Trust (237,500) University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust (222,200) and Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust (220,400). The figures are part of an annual report using Hospital Episode Statistics (HES).
