Comment(s)

Nursing care statistics on December the 15.
¹⁾At the reporting date for the nursing care statistics 2009 there were no processed data from the statistics of nursing care facilities available for Bremen. However, to produce a complete federal result, the results for Bremen were estimated: To the sum of the other 15 federal states about one percent was added (separately calculated for the outpatient and the inpatient field). The factor is the share of Bremen of the German result from 2007.
For Bremen, the data for 2009 were subsequently recorded, but the result for Germany was not modified. So, the data 2009 for Germany still only includes the estimated results for Bremen.

Refresh period of data

The table was extended by the year 2021 on 30 Mar 2023.
Information for a new reporting period will be added as soon as it is available.
