“We now know how many people have tested positive for the disease in a particular area, but not whether any of them have had to be admitted to hospital as a result, nor yet if any of them has died”

Please excuse the pedantry, but people get admitted to hospital as a result of symptoms – a positive test results merely in being told to self isolate. Many cases aren’t detected until tested at hospital, and “the number who died with COVID-19 mentioned as a cause on the death certificate” is nearly 20% greater than “all deaths within 28 days after a positive test”, so tens of thousands of serious cases must have escaped detection by test.

Hospital admissions sorted by nation, NHS area, and by NHS trust can be found on the following page by clicking the blue “United Kingdom” drop-down near the top:

Likewise for deaths, which you can find sorted by nation, region and local authority here:
