A Newborn Blood Spot Test is a Clinical Investigation.

A Newborn Blood Spot Test is performed to identify any serious condition that a baby may have. It involves the collection of a blood sample from the heel, usually when the baby is between 5 and 8 days of age. 

All babies are screened for:

• Phenylketonuria
• Congenital Hypothyroidism
• Sickle Cell Disorders
• Cystic Fibrosis
• Medium Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (MCADD)

For further information on Newborn Blood Spot Tests, see the UK Newborn Screening Programme Centre website.

Newborn Hearing Screening is a Clinical Investigation.

Newborn Hearing Screening is recommended to be undertaken on all newborn babies, using appropriate electro-acoustic or electro-physiological tests to detect moderate, severe or profound permanent childhood deafness.

The NHS Newborn Hearing Screening Programme (NHSP) ensures all parents are offered hearing screening for their new child within the first few weeks of life. It is a core service within the NHS in England and part of the family of Antenatal and Newborn Screening Programmes.

For further information on Newborn Hearing Screening, see the NHS Newborn Hearing Screening Programme website.

Note: if the child fails the Newborn Hearing Screening, a REFERRAL REQUEST for audiology testing is made.

CANCER OR SYMPTOMATIC BREAST REFERRAL PATIENT STATUS is recorded to enable tracking of the status of REFERRAL REQUESTS for PATIENTS referred with a suspected cancer, or referred with breast symptoms with cancer not originally suspected.

Where a diagnosis of cancer is subsequently made, data on First Definitive Treatment and subsequent treatments should be recorded for PATIENTS receiving treatment within the NHS in England.  English NHS in this context refers to Health Care Provider Organisations within England who are treating PATIENTS with cancer (where the PATIENTS have NHS NUMBERS which exist on the Patient Demographic Service database, and which can be used within the National Cancer Waiting Times Monitoring Data Set for transmission purposes) who may have been referred from outside England.  Further details can be found in Department of Health guidance at Cancer Waiting Times Documentation and Links.  English NHS in this context refers to Health Care Provider ORGANISATIONS within England who are treating PATIENTS with cancer (where the PATIENTS have NHS NUMBERS which exist on the Patient Demographic Service database, and which can be used within the National Cancer Waiting Times Monitoring Data Set for transmission purposes) who may have been referred from outside England.  Further details can be found in Department of Health guidance at  Cancer Waiting Times Documentation and Links.

¹ PATIENTS who do not attend an appointment
National code 33 - "Did not attend - the PATIENT did not attend the first CARE ACTIVITY after the referral" may only be used where

• the PATIENT did not attend their first APPOINTMENT following the REFERRAL REQUEST that started the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD, provided that the Health Care Provider can demonstrate that the APPOINTMENT was clearly communicated to the PATIENT.
  
  REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIODS with REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD STATUS of National code 33 are excluded from the measurement of the 18 weeks Referral To Treatment Period Included In 18 Weeks Target

² Decision not to treat
National Code 34 - "decision not to treat - decision not to treat made or no further contact required" includes

• a Discharge After Patient Did Not Attend the second or a subsequent CARE ACTIVITY after the referral.
