Here is our weekly round-up of confirmed Covid patient numbers and admissions at north London hospitals.

We looked at the latest government data - up to last Tuesday, June 7 - for NHS trusts serving Barnet, Brent, Camden, Hackney, Islington and surrounding areas.

It shows that despite weekly admissions to hospitals managed by Royal Free London increasing, the average number of patients being treated each day fell.

There was little change in the daily average for London North West University Healthcare, while weekly admissions to its hospitals fell.

Whittington Health saw a decrease in the average number of patients in hospital each day, although there was one more admission than the previous week.

Homerton Healthcare continued to report very low numbers of Covid patients, with just two in hospital on two consecutive days.

Here’s a breakdown of the data:
