The information is collected by Scottish Government from local NHS Boards, NHS

Scotland.

It is Management Information, which is collected and distributed each day in order

to support understanding of the progress of the outbreak in Scotland. The
information comes from different administrative systems and as such there may be
variations in the quality of the data and is subject to revision if new information
becomes available.

Notes
 
1. The data in Table 2 includes a snapshot of:
(i) the number of people in ICUs across Scotland with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 (not the numb
of people admitted to ICU each day). The breakdown of confirmed or suspected COVID-19 was not
collected before 26th March.  

(ii) the number of people in hospital across Scotland with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 (not the
number of people admitted to hospital each day). This figure includes those in ICU. The breakdown of
confirmed or suspected COVID-19 was not collected before 26th March.

2. NHS Boards provide Scottish Government with management information on the numbers of patients
ICU with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 at midnight – this is intended to provide information on
patients receiving ICU level 3 care. A small number of NHS Boards have some combined ICU/HDU unit
and provide information on those units. For example NHS Tayside had included a standalone HDU in
returns before 7th April, these are no longer reported in the figures. The Scottish Government will contin
to assess the potential data sources available on COVID-19 patients in receipt of level 3 care.

3. The number of patients reported each day refers to the number of patients overnight, at midnight on t
preceding night.

4. Where Boards do not provide their overnight data in time for the daily publication, the previous day’s
data will be used and highlighted on each occasion. The figure will be revised the subsequent day to
include the correct data.

5. Figures will also be revised if Boards discover an error and have to resubmit their data.
(i) Data on the number of suspected COVID-19 patients published for 1st May was revised for NHS
Grampian on 2nd May from 97 to 29 and as such the national total of suspected cases for 1st May was
revised from 507 to 439. The respective confirmed or suspected COVID-19 totals therefore changed fro
187 to 119, and 1,809 to 1,741.
(ii) NHS Lanarkshire data on the number of confirmed and suspected COVID-19 patients in hospital on
9th May was revised from 126 to 120 and 74 to 72 respectively on 10th May. The national totals of
confirmed and suspected were revised from 1,165 to 1,159 and from 420 to 418 respectively.
(iii) Due to a revision on the Golden Jubilee National Hospital data on the number of confirmed and
suspected COVID-19 patients in ICU for 13 May, the total figure for Scotland has been revised from 70 t
66.
(iv) Due to a revision on the NHS Fife data on the number of confirmed and suspected COVID-19 patien
in ICU for 26 May, the total figure for Scotland has been revised from 36 to 35.

6. Other minor variations in the daily returns from Boards include:

(i) No submission was received from NHS Dumfries and Galloway on 18/03/2020 or 19/03/2020.
(ii) On some occasions, NHS Lanarkshire figures were collected at 4pm and not midnight.
(iii) Western Isles are defining ICU as beds where intensive ventilation can take place.
(iv) NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde are not currently able to provide an estimate of suspected cases.

7. Health Boards started to provide data on the breakdown of suspected and confirmed COVID-19
hospitalisation and ICU patients on 26th March with all Boards providing this breakdown from 27th Marc
2020. From 29th April, NHS Boards are testing all patients aged over 70 on admission to hospital, which
has led to a discontinuity in the data series for number of people in hospital. From 5th May onwards the
numbers shown in chart 2 are confirmed COVID-19 only. We will continue to monitor the methodology a

This data is provided each day by NHS National Services Scotland on behalf of 21
NHS Boards, and by the Scottish Ambulance Service separately. It covers hospitals
and community health services, and excludes those working in general practice.
All staff-in-post are included – both those on the frontline and those who may not
have patient contact.
 
Accuracy and completeness is dependent on staff who directly deliver patient
services, and administrators, inputting absence data into the NHS Scotland
national time and attendance system (SSTS). The figures cover all staff recorded
as absent on the system, irrespective of whether they were due to be at work on
that particular day.
 
Recording processes vary between Boards and service areas. In particular, the
timing of absence recording will vary, and some absences may not be recorded
timeously. We will consider whether it is necessary to update the data for
previous days where there is a material change in the reported absence due to a
delay in recording. We understand that services are under high pressure, and
therefore data will be monitored closely. If necessary, publishing of staff absence
data may need to be amended or delayed.
 
In contrast to the data for adult care homes, stress related to COVID-19 would be
recorded as sick leave, and not included here.
