Notes:
OCCUPIED BED DAYS are derived from WARD LISTING TOTAL BED OCCUPIED, which should be recorded each day as part of the DAILY WARD LISTING. This daily count should then be totalled across the period for which the data is required. Note that this excludes PATIENTS who are temporarily absent e.g. on Home Leave.

Home Leave is a LEAVE where LEAVE TYPE is National Code 02 'Home Leave'.
