Malnutrition causing thousands of hospital admissions - get the data

In November 2015 we reported on over 2,000 malnutrition cases being reported in hospitals across England, a rise on previous years.

The figures were revealed as Tameside Hospital became the first NHS hospital in the UK to set up a permanent food bank on site.

The data was obtained through Freedom of Information requests by Birmingham City University MA student Eiryo Saeki. You can find the data in this GitHub repository here

You can also find this data in a Google spreadsheet here
