The table presents the percentage of patients requiring geriatric assessment care who were admitted immediately (emergencies) or within seven days of being placed on the waiting list.

An "x" in a cell indicates that there was no service to report against that specialty.

An "||" in a cell indicates that the figure has been suppressed as the denominator is less than 100.
