It doesn’t state per 100,000 of what. According to JFman’s interpretation the ONS stats state that is the hospitalisation rate per 100,000 per “Population”

Well aside from the fact it's admissions over the week rather than numbers in hospital, I've re-read the ONS site and I still believe my interpretation is correct. And 1,950 feels like a reasonable figure. 87,100 is clearly bonkers.
Also it says "The hospitalisation rate for COVID-19 was at 18.41 per 100,000 in week 52", which seems about right if you average out all the age groups.
But I agree the ONS could make a lot clearer

Wouldn't it add up to 100,000 in that case?
