| Note: | Hip fracture is one of the most common and serious health problems affecting older people. With an ageing population, providing high quality care for people suffering from a hip fracture is becoming increasingly important. Looking at 10 years’ of hospital inpatient activity data, we found that the number of hip fracture admissions increased by 15.5 per cent between 2001/02 and 2012/11. The increase appears to be mainly due to the general ageing of the population.
