This report shows the number of separations where the patient spends all or part of their stay in a neonatal intensive care unit or special care nursery.
Note(s):
Data are lagged by one quarter.
Critical care services provide the expertise and equipment for treating newborns with life threatening or potentially life threatening conditions. A special care nursery provides specialised care and observation for babies no longer requiring intensive care facilities, who are not ready to go home.
