Caveats

Old data: five years pooled to 2020/21, including pandemic disruption of hospital-going. Labelled honestly — this card retains the selected archived period.
A ratio, not a rate: 135 means 35% above age-adjusted expectation, not 135 admissions.
Emergency admissions only; milder or fatal-before-hospital events are counted elsewhere.
Lower means fewer emergency admissions than expected. Shown in words, not colour.

Missing or suppressed values are never shown as zero — every card above passed validation with a real numeric value.
