What the average bed occupancy rate was of each acute hospital in each of the last five years.

The following table details percentage bed occupancy for acute specialties in Scottish hospitals. Hospitals with 25 or more average available staffed beds in acute specialties have been included in the table. While the occupancy of the large hospitals providing most of the acute care remains reasonably stable across the 5 years, some small, generally rural hospitals show changing occupancy figures as the provision of service changes due to service redesign. For example, Stracathro Hospital is being redeveloped as Scotland’s first Ambulatory Diagnostic and Treatment Centre and any spare inpatient capacity is to be used in partnership with the independent sector to help reduce waiting times in Tayside, Grampian and Fife.
