In July 2013 the process for recording serious harm notifications was changed. Previously, any notification was recorded as it was received. From July 2013, only notifications that met the legal definition of serious harm have been recorded. This means that pre- and post-2013 data for serious harm notifications are not directly comparable.

*2015 figures are year to date 06 July 2015
