Tonsilectomies rates

From: SAMCNZ
Dear Health Quality and Safety Commission,
I have recently come across an interesting tab on the Atlas of Healthcare: Surgical procedures single map [Tonsillectomy (0-14 years), rate per 1,000] [link: https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/h...
I note that there are various reasons why this procedure is usually performed on children - and why this age groups is the focus of HQSC. I am curious if you have the data to perform the data for all age groups (including adolescents/adults 15-64)?
I am interested in doing a similar analysis to 'to explore the use of tonsillectomy to treat sleep-disordered breathing and recurrent acute tonsillitis in adolescents/adults. '
Yours faithfully,
SAMCNZ
