Guide for use:

The Hospital transfer cluster comprises two data elements that allow data on the number and type (planned/unplanned) of transfers between prison and a community-based hospital during the National Prisoner Health Census period to be determined.

This is achieved by the combination of the two data elements: Establishment (prison)—planned hospital transfer indicator, yes/no code N and Establishment (prison)—number of hospital transfers, number N[NN].
