Summary

NHS Continuing Healthcare Activity Statistics for England, Quarter 2 2016-17 Report, Experimental Statistics

From Quarter 3 2016-17 onwards, NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) data will no longer be collected by NHS Digital. Instead, NHS Digital will publish the NHS CHC data collected by NHS England. The following changes will be made to the NHS Digital NHS CHC activity statistics publication:

  • The number of fast-track applications will be included
  • The written report will be reformatted as a one-page document, with accompanying technical information in a separate annex
  • No amendments to previous quarters' data will be made
  • Population figures as at the end of the reporting period will be used, instead of population figures as at the start of the reporting period

Highlights

Data for the second quarter of 2016-17 are the fourteenth to be collected under the new NHS structural arrangements.
