Special note: The figures for total days from delivery to end of episode, excluding the overall table total (629,207), 2006-07 have been corrected (12/02/09) for Table 20. There was an error in the original calculation which gave totals differing from the true value by up to 5%. The totals affected were those under the headings: total excl. not known duration of postnatal stay; same day;1;2;3;4;5;6;7 or more; and not known. Percentages have also been changed where necessary. All other totals, percentages and individual values were unaffected and therefore remain the same.
