Dear Jonathan, further to your query below. Theatres and recovery
areas/wards do not have a bed occupancy. A patient is transported on a
trolley when they go to Theatre, and then transported to a recovery
area/ward on that trolley.
I trust this is helpful.
Kind regards.

Would it be possible to confirm the actual number of Theatres and Recovery Ward locations. For example, there may be 10 Theatres and 10 Recovery locations or bed space within a particular hospital
Yours sincerely,
Jonathan
