Say Hello Wave Goodbye First Six Months 2023

Welcome to our latest Say Hello Wave Goodbye report that I have been publishing since 2015. This issue looks at the first six months of 2023.

In compiling the data, we were mindful that our 2022 report showed the lowest number of openings since 2015 and was around 23% down year on year. Additionally, there was a net deficit of 230 beds against a slight growth in beds that was achieved in the previous two years.

We were hoping to report a much-needed year on year increase against the same period in 2022 but alas I have been unable to do this.
