Entry title: Update to influenza hospital admission regions

Entry description:

We have updated the way we present regional level influenza hospital admission rates. We have combined the 9 UKHSA Regions into 4 UKHSA Super Regions for:

  • North of England
  • South of England
  • Midlands and East of England
  • London

Any data reported from 30 September will use these new larger regions. You will be able to filter data for previous seasons by either the 9 UKHSA Regions or the 4 UKHSA Super Regions.

Influenza hospital admissions rates are based on a subset of trusts who voluntarily report. Participating trusts are distributed across England, but due to the voluntary nature of participation, some regions may have lower levels of trust participation. We have made this change to aid interpretation.
