†Percentage of all cases.
‡No. cases/100,000 population. Mid-year population estimates were obtained from the Office for National Statistics (10); for all epidemiologic years other than 2015/2016, incidence rates were calculated by using mid-year population estimates for the first calendar year; for 2015/2016, mid-year estimates for 2014 were used.
