This dataset contains summarised data showing publicly funded hospital discharges and procedures by DHB, ethnic group, sex, age group and disease/procedure classification.

Data is provided by public hospitals and by those private hospitals who provide publicly funded services in an agreed electronic file format. Paper forms and a cut-down electronic file format are also forwarded by other private hospitals. Publicly funded hospital events are required to be loaded into the National Minimum Dataset (NMDS) within 21 days after the month of discharge.
