PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Health Services (10 May 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether she has made an assessment of progress in the development of a clinical analytical service for specialised commissioning.

Asked by:
Karin Smyth (Labour)

Answer

Commissioners of Specialised Services have access to the analysis of clinical data via their regional business intelligence teams, or the nationally commissioned Commissioning Support Unit (CSU) service provision.

Routine reporting can be accessed via the National Commissioning Data Repository, and more focused analytics can be performed across commissioning and clinical datasets collected by NHS England. NHS England has developed 181 Specialised Services Quality Dashboards alongside service specifications, which provide additional data to monitor the quality of services and maintain clinical registries ranging from bowel cancer to pulmonary hypertension.
