When it comes to Covid hospital admissions it's going to become increasingly important to look behind the headline figures to truly understand the impact of Omicron.

With infection levels rising, it's possible a greater share will be incidental admissions - a patient with a broken leg who happens to test positive for Covid on arrival, for example.

In London more than one in five patients in hospital fall into this category - and it's a proportion that may be just showing the early signs of increasing.

Admissions for Covid are also going up, just not as fast it seems as admissions with Covid.

So direct Covid pressures are still on the rise but just maybe not as fast as headline figures suggest.

Another figure to watch is length of stay for Covid patients.

It has been falling throughout the pandemic.

If it falls again during this Omicron wave that too could relieve the overall pressure.
