This is the first publication of the Accident and Emergency (A&E) attendance data within Hospital Episodes Statistics (HES). It covers the period April 2007 to March 2008 and draws on over 12.3 million detailed records of attendances at major A&E departments, single specialty A&E departments, minor injury units and walk in centres in England.

Publishing the A&E HES data for the first time, as experimental statistics, enables initial conclusions to be presented for discussion and aims to promote and highlight the uses of this potentially rich dataset.

During the period covered by this publication, not all NHS Trusts have complete data submissions and data quality is poor in some cases. The publication also includes analysis of the A&E HES data compared to the Quarterly Monitoring of Accident and Emergency (QMAE) return, the official source of A&E information, to highlight areas for further investigation.

In this report we attempt to describe and seek to understand these variations. For each inequality in turn (age, gender, social and economic factors, culture and ethnicity, place) we question why it is associated with injury risk. We then examine evaluated intervention studies identified in an earlier review (Towner et al 2001; www.hda online.org.uk/downloads/pdfs/prevent_injuries.pdf) and ask whether injury prevention studies have addressed these inequalities. The information is presented in tabular and narrative form for different injury types.
