Community Information Data Set Overview
The Community Information Data Set is initially being introduced for local use only, from 1 April 2012. A future Information Standards Notice will be published to notify providers and system suppliers of the requirement to flow the data set nationally, and give further details relating to unique record identifiers and how the data will be handled by the receiving system. The layout of the data set shown below, and the definition of the Mandatory, Required or Optional column, show the data inclusion requirements which will apply when the data is required to flow nationally, to enable providers and system suppliers to prepare the data for national flow.
The Mandatory, Required or Optional (M/R/O) column indicates the recommendation for the inclusion of data:
M = Mandatory: This data element is mandatory, the message will be rejected if this data element is absent
R = Required: This data is required as part of NHS business rules and must be included where available or applicable
O = Optional: the flow of this data is optional. It should be included at the discretion of the submitting organisation and their commissioners as required for local purposes. Community systems must however enable the capture and reporting or derivation such items.
Note - Items in the M/R/O column which are shown with notation P, have not yet been defined by the NHS Data Model and Dictionary Service, or approved by the Information Standards Board for Health and Social Care, and are included to facilitate piloting and testing of future Department of Health data requirements, prior to formal inclusion in later versions of the data set. These items have been included in the data set layout because the Community Information Data Set XML Schema Version 1.0.0 includes the facility to submit these items to support the piloting activities. Unless ORGANISATIONS are engaged in these piloting activities, they should NOT submit any data item marked P.

KC61: Pathology Laboratories - Cervical Cytology and Outcome of Gynaecological Referrals
Contextual OverviewContextual Overview
The Department of Health, NHS Cervical Screening Programme (NHSCSP), Strategic Health Authorities and trusts require information from Pathology Laboratories on cervical cytology and outcome of referrals.
A Pathology Laboratory is a LABORATORY where the LABORATORY TYPE is National Code 01 'Pathology Laboratory'.The information helps to monitor the process of achieving the Government's target to reduce the incidence of invasive cervical cancer and to ensure that the screening programme is managed effectively. The information is used to ensure that the laboratory is achieving acceptable standards in examining smears in line with guidance provided by the NHS Cervical Screening Programme.
Information on the return is also used in Public Expenditure Survey (PES) negotiations, resource allocation to the NHS and Departmental accountability.
Information based on the KC61 return is published annually by the Department in the Statistical Bulletin `Cervical Screening Programme'.
Completing Return KC61: Pathology Laboratories - Cervical Cytology and Outcome of Referrals
KC61 returns are required by all Pathology Laboratories carrying out cervical cytology within NHS Health Care Providers. This applies to independently managed NHS laboratories, including cytopathology laboratories and also private laboratories if they are commissioned to report on smears for the NHS.
Each return requires the ORGANISATION CODE and ORGANISATION NAME of the NHS Trust and must be signed by a CONSULTANT in one of the Pathology MAIN SPECIALTY CODES. It also requires the pathology LABORATORY NAME and pathology LABORATORY CODE. Note that pathology LABORATORY CODES are maintained and issued by the Organisation Data Service on behalf of the NHS Cervical Screening Programme.
For the Organisation Data Service contact details, see Contact Details.
A Pathology Laboratory's KC61 return should include all the original Requests for Pathology Investigation received by that laboratory. A Request for Pathology Investigation forwarded to another laboratory should only be included in the first laboratory's return (except Part A3).
A Request for Pathology Investigation is a DIAGNOSTIC TEST REQUEST where the DIAGNOSTIC TEST REQUEST is National Code 03 'Request for Pathology Investigation'.Smears re-screened within the same Laboratory as part of internal or external quality control or for any other reason should not be included in the KC61 return. The number of requests sent to or received from another Laboratory for primary screening or other reason should be recorded in Part A3.
Where more than one slide is associated with one Request for Pathology Investigation, only the most significant CYTOLOGY RESULT TYPES may be counted for the KC61.
The return KC61 is completed annually and submitted within two months of the end of the period.
Parts A and B of the return relate to all smears reported by the laboratory where the smear was received and registered between 1 April of one year and 31 March of the following year. If this date is not recorded, the CERVICAL SMEAR EXAMINED DATE can be used as a proxy. Part C1 of the return relates to smears where the date of the smear which led to a referral fell in the first three months of the financial year (April, May and June). Part C2 is a duplicate of Part C1, but will collect data relating to gynaecological referrals from smears registered during the whole of the financial year prior to the current year.

KO41(a) 1
Contextual OverviewThe Department of Health requires information to monitor the number of written Hospital and Community Health Service (HCHS) complaints received by the NHS each year. The information allows analysis of complaints by subject.
Information on the complaints procedure is published in the booklet 'Written Complaints' and on Department of Health web site - NHS complaints.
Completing Return KO41(a) - Hospital and Community Health Services Complaints
KO41(a) is used for WRITTEN COMPLAINTS about Hospital and Community Health Services. Hospital and Community Health Services include any SERVICE provided by an NHS Trust (Acute Trust, Partnership Trust, Care Trust, Mental Health Trust or Ambulance Trust) or any commissioned SERVICE provided by a Primary Care Trust.
For the purposes of this return, a WRITTEN COMPLAINT is one that is either made in writing to any member of an NHS Trust or Primary Care Trust staff, or is originally made verbally and subsequently recorded in writing. Once it is so recorded, it should be treated as though it had been made in writing from the outset. Verbal complaints and comments/suggestions that do not require investigation should not be included. The return is subdivided into complaints by service areas, profession, subject of complaint, complainant (PATIENT) ETHNIC CATEGORY and the ETHNIC CATEGORY of the staff about whom the complaint is made.
- One written communication may contain more than one WRITTEN COMPLAINT and each should be recorded separately. However, where a single complaint covers several aspects of care/treatment received, the WRITTEN COMPLAINT should be recorded only once, under the principal cause of complaint.
NHS Trusts and Primary Care Trusts should complete KO41(a) return. Primary Care Trusts are responsible for handling any WRITTEN COMPLAINT about hospital and community health services they provide as well as any WRITTEN COMPLAINT made to them about commissioning issues. NHS Trusts will make their own return about WRITTEN COMPLAINTS investigated by them. A 'NIL' return should be submitted where applicable.
If the WRITTEN COMPLAINT is transferred to another ORGANISATION, the WRITTEN COMPLAINT should be recorded by the ORGANISATION to which it is transferred.
Do not include investigations instigated by outside agencies, for example, the Police, Health Service Commissioner or Coroners' Court.
Data on the ETHNIC CATEGORY of both complainant (this should always be about the PATIENT and not the person complaining on the PATIENT's behalf) and staff complained about (where a complaint is about an individual as opposed to a service or administrative arrangements, etc) has been collected since April 2001. This information will help the Department of Health to begin developing a picture of the extent to which ethnicity affects the likelihood of complaining or of being complained about.
WRITTEN COMPLAINTS regarding GENERAL PRACTITIONER Out Of Hours Services should be recorded as follows:
a) Complaints received regarding GP Practices who provide an Out Of Hours service under the new General Medical Services (GMS) contract should NOT be recorded on the KO41(a) return. They should be submitted on the K041(b) (General Practice Health Services) return.
b) Where Primary Care Trusts directly employ CARE PROFESSIONALS to provide an Out of Hours service, these WRITTEN COMPLAINTS should be recorded on the KO41(a) return under the COMPLAINT HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES SERVICE AREA 'Other Community Health Services'.
c) Where a Primary Care Trust commissions the Out of Hours service from an independent provider, e.g. Primecare, then WRITTEN COMPLAINTS made to the Primary Care Trust should NOT be recorded on the KO41(a) return. They should be submitted on the K041(b) (General Practice Health Services) return.
The return KO41(a) relates toWRITTEN COMPLAINTSreceived over a 12 month period, between 1 April of one year and 31 March of the following year. Complaints received during the previous year, but carried over to the current year should be excluded. The return is made annually and should be submitted within the timescale required by the Department of Health.The return KO41(a) relates to WRITTEN COMPLAINTS received over a 12 month period, between 1 April of one year and 31 March of the following year.

Contextual Overview
Contextual Overview
The Department of Health requires information to monitor the number of written GP Practice (including Dental) complaints received by the NHS each year. The information allows analysis of complaints by subject.
Information on the NHS complaints procedures can be obtained from Department of Health Website - NHS Complaints.
Completing Return KO41(b) - General Practice (including Dental) Complaints
KO41(b) is used for WRITTEN COMPLAINTS about GP Practice (including Dental) Health Services.
For the purposes of this return, a WRITTEN COMPLAINT is one that is either made in writing to any member of GP Practice staff or Primary Care Trust staff, or is originally made verbally but is subsequently recorded in writing. Once it is so recorded, it should be treated as though it had been made in writing from the outset.
Primary Care Trust and GP Practices should complete KO41(b) return for WRITTEN COMPLAINTS relating to GP Practice services for which they are responsible. A 'NIL' return should be submitted where applicable. WRITTEN COMPLAINTS made regarding Primary Care Trust services should be included on KO41(a) return.
One written communication may contain more than one WRITTEN COMPLAINT and each should be recorded separately. However, where a single complaint covers several aspects of care/treatment received, the WRITTEN COMPLAINT should be recorded only once, under the principal cause of complaint.
Do not include investigations instigated by outside agencies, for example the Police, Health Service Commissioner or Coroners' Court.
WRITTEN COMPLAINTS received by the Primary Care Trust or by GP Practices regarding the provision of Out Of Hours services under the new General Medical Services (GMS) contract should be recorded on the KO41(b) return. In addition, where a Primary Care Trust commissions the Out of Hours service from an independent provider, e.g. Primecare, then WRITTEN COMPLAINTS made to the Primary Care Trust should also be submitted on the KO41(b) return. Where the Primary Care Trust directly employs doctors (or others) to provide Out of Hours service, these WRITTEN COMPLAINTS should be recorded on the KO41(a) return.
Data on the ETHNIC CATEGORY of both complainant (this should always be about the PATIENT and not the person complaining on the PATIENT's behalf) and staff complained about (where a WRITTEN COMPLAINT is about an individual as opposed to a service or administrative arrangements, etc.) has been collected since April 2001. This information helps the Department of Health develop a picture of the extent to which ethnicity affects the likelihood of complaining or of being complained about.
The return KO41(b) relates to WRITTEN COMPLAINTS received over a 12 month period, between 1 April of one year and 31 March of the following year. The return is made annually and should be submitted within the timescale required by the Department of Health.
Each WRITTEN COMPLAINT where the WRITTEN COMPLAINT TYPE is National Code 01 ' General Practice (including Dental) (GP Practice) Services' should be recorded according to COMPLAINT GP SERVICE AREA, COMPLAINT GP SUBJECT and ETHNIC CATEGORY of the PATIENT and staff involved.

Contextual Overview
- The Department of Health requires summary details from NHS Health Care Providers on ambulance activity. The Ambulance Services Data Set (KA34) provides performance management measures of response times; these are also required by NHS Trusts for Ambulance Service internal monitoring and for defining service agreements.
- The information originally monitored 'Your guide to the NHS' targets and the standards introduced following a review of ambulance performance standards in 1996-97. The standards required that all Ambulance Services would be expected to reach 75% of immediately life-threatening calls within 8 minutes irrespective of location and that all incidents that require a fully equipped Ambulance vehicle (car or Ambulance) must have a vehicle, able to transport the PATIENT in a clinically safe manner (Emergency Ambulance), arrive within 19 minutes of the TRANSPORT REQUEST being made in 95% of cases.
- The information is required to inform strategic policy development, to provide data to the Care Quality Commission for performance and activity assessment, to ensure that Spending Review bids reflect changes to overall demand and to inform the development of Ambulance Service reference costs.
- Information based on the data set is published annually in The NHS Information Centre for health and social care 's Statistical Bulletin 'Ambulance services; England'.
Collection and Submission of the Ambulance Services Data Set (KA34)
- The Ambulance Services Data Set (KA34) is completed by NHS Trusts providing Ambulance Services.
- The Ambulance Services Data Set (KA34) relates to ACTIVITY taking place over a 12 month period, between 1 April of one year and 31 March of the following year. The return is made annually and submitted within one month of the end of the year to which it relates, online to The NHS Information Centre for health and social care via the Omnibus Survey system.
- The Ambulance Services Data Set (KA34) requires the ORGANISATION CODE and ORGANISATION NAME of the NHS Ambulance Trust - the NHS Health Care Provider of the Ambulance Service.
Synopsis of the Ambulance Services Data Set (KA34)
| Part 1 | Emergency and Urgent Calls: |
| The following are sub-divided by RESPONSE CATEGORY A, B and C. | |
| 01 | Total number of emergency and urgent calls received; |
| 02 | The number of TRANSPORT REQUEST INCIDENTS that resulted in an Emergency Response arriving at the scene of the incident. For RESPONSE CATEGORY A calls, the total of lines 04 and 05 should equal this total; |
| 03 | The number of TRANSPORT REQUEST INCIDENTS that resulted in an Emergency Response arriving at the scene of the incident within 8 minutes (not required for RESPONSE CATEGORIES B or C calls); |
| 04 | The number of TRANSPORT REQUEST INCIDENTS where, following the arrival of an Emergency Response, the control room subsequently decided that no Emergency Ambulance was required (not required for RESPONSE CATEGORY C calls); |
| 05 | The number of TRANSPORT REQUEST INCIDENTS that resulted in an Emergency Ambulance able to transport a PATIENT arriving at the scene of the incident (not required for RESPONSE CATEGORY C calls); |
| 06 | The number of TRANSPORT REQUEST INCIDENTS that resulted in an Emergency Ambulance able to transport a PATIENT arriving at the scene of the incident within 19 minutes (not required for RESPONSE CATEGORY C calls).; |
| 07 | The number of calls resolved through telephone advice only (not required for RESPONSE CATEGORIES A or B calls). |
Part 1 Additional Guidance
EMERGENCY CALLS RESOLVED BY TELEPHONE TOTAL is not required for RESPONSE CATEGORY National Code A 'Category A: immediately life threatening - presenting conditions which require a fully equipped Emergency Ambulance to attend the incident'.
- EMERGENCY RESPONSE WITHIN 8 MINUTES TOTAL and EMERGENCY CALLS RESOLVED BY TELEPHONE TOTAL are not required for RESPONSE CATEGORY National Code B 'Category B: serious but not immediately life threatening'.
- EMERGENCY RESPONSE WITHIN 8 MINUTES TOTAL, EMERGENCY RESPONSE NO AMBULANCE REQUIRED TOTAL, EMERGENCY RESPONSE AMBULANCE ARRIVED TOTAL and EMERGENCY RESPONSE WITHIN 19 MINUTES TOTAL are not required for RESPONSE CATEGORY National Code C 'Category C: other emergency calls which are not immediately life threatening or serious'.
| Part 2 | Patient Destinations: Emergency and Urgent: |
| 08 | Total number of emergency and urgent PATIENT TRANSPORT JOURNEYS to ACCIDENT AND EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT TYPES 1 and 2, sub-divided by RESPONSE CATEGORIES A, B and C. |
| 09 | Total number of emergency and urgent PATIENT TRANSPORT JOURNEYS to ACCIDENT AND EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT TYPES other than types 1 and 2, sub-divided by RESPONSE CATEGORIES A, B and C. |
| 10 | Total number of PATIENTS treated at the scene only, sub-divided by RESPONSE CATEGORIES A, B and C. |
| Part 3 | Patient Journeys: Non-Urgent: |
| 11 | Total number of non-urgent journeys sub-divided into Special Transport Requests and Planned Transport Requests. |
Only the first Emergency Ambulance to arrive at the scene of the TRANSPORT REQUEST INCIDENT should be included in lines 05 and 06 where more than one Emergency Ambulance has been despatched.
Timing of Emergency Response Times
In order to calculate the response time, the 'clock starts' at the TRANSPORT REQUEST CALL CONNECT TIME and the 'clock stops' on the TRANSPORT REQUEST FIRST RESPONSE ARRIVAL TIME or the AMBULANCE ARRIVAL TIME at the scene of the TRANSPORT REQUEST INCIDENT.
An Emergency Response within 8 minutes means 8 minutes 0 seconds (i.e. 480 seconds) or less. Similarly, 19 minutes means 19 minutes 0 seconds or less.
Cross-border Transport Requests
A TRANSPORT REQUEST/TRANSPORT REQUEST INCIDENT that crosses more than one Ambulance Service's boundary should be reported by only one Ambulance Service.
Each NHS Ambulance Service is responsible for reporting on the performance of all Emergency Transport Requests for which it receives the initial TRANSPORT REQUEST. This includes TRANSPORT REQUESTS received by an Ambulance Service that relate to TRANSPORT REQUEST INCIDENTS occurring outside its recognised boundary and TRANSPORT REQUESTS relating to TRANSPORT REQUEST INCIDENTS within or outside its boundary that are subsequently transferred to another Ambulance Service for response.
An Ambulance Service should not report, or report on the performance relating to, any TRANSPORT REQUEST INCIDENT where another Ambulance Service received the initial TRANSPORT REQUEST, even if the TRANSPORT REQUEST was transferred to and dealt with by that Ambulance Service. NHS Trusts responsible for dealing with any cross-border TRANSPORT REQUESTS should advise the NHS Trusts who received the initial TRANSPORT REQUEST of all appropriate clock times for performance reporting purposes.
Where an NHS Ambulance Service asks another NHS Ambulance Service to undertake a TRANSPORT REQUEST on its behalf, the responsibility for dealing with the TRANSPORT REQUEST in the most appropriate way passes to the receiving Ambulance Service once it has accepted it.
Air Ambulances
Air Ambulances are managed locally by Ambulance Services and financed through charitable funding. Any PATIENT TRANSPORT JOURNEY provided by air Ambulance should, therefore, not be included in the Ambulance Services Data Set (KA34).

A Cancer Treatment Period is an ACTIVITY GROUP.
A Cancer Treatment Period is initiated when a decision to treat for a cancer condition (see Department of Health guidance at Cancer Waiting Times Documentation and Links) is made, and ends when the PATIENT receives the Planned Cancer Treatment specified in the Cancer Care Plan covering the PATIENTS condition. This is the same as TREATMENT START DATE FOR CANCER.
If the PATIENT receives several different types of treatment within the same Cancer Care Plan (e.g. surgery, followed by Chemotherapy, followed by radiotherapy), then each stage has its own Cancer Treatment Period of 31 days between DECISION TO TREAT DATE (or EARLIEST CLINICALLY APPROPRIATE DATE), and TREATMENT START DATE FOR CANCER.
CANCER CARE SETTING (TREATMENT) is used to derive whether a waiting time adjustment between CANCER TREATMENT PERIOD START DATE and TREATMENT START DATE FOR CANCER may be recorded in WAITING TIME ADJUSTMENT (TREATMENT).

The holding of a clinic provides the opportunity for consultation, investigation and treatment. PATIENTS normally attend by prior APPOINTMENT. Although a CONSULTANT is in overall charge, the CONSULTANT may not be present on all occasions that the clinic is held. However, a member of the CONSULTANT's firm or locum for such a member, must always be present. An individual CONSULTANT may run more than one clinic in the same or different locations. This also includes clinics run by GENERAL PRACTITIONERS acting as CONSULTANT (see definition of 'CONSULTANT').
For shared clinics the Shared Care Out-Patient Consultant should be recorded.
Clinics not controlled by a CONSULTANT (or GENERAL PRACTITIONER) should not be included, e.g. those run by midwives (see Midwife Clinic). Consultant Clinic Sessions are actual occurrences of Consultant Clinics.

Notes:
A doctor must always be present and available to see the PATIENT and is probably one of the following:
- CONSULTANT in charge of the clinic;
- member of the CONSULTANT firm running the clinic;
- GENERAL PRACTITIONER or other doctor acting as a clinical assistant;
- locum acting for the CONSULTANT;
- GENERAL PRACTITIONER running a clinic, such as a maternity clinic, by special arrangement with the Health Care Provider.
Count attendances at a clinic as Consultant Clinic attendances if and only if the PATIENT actually sees a doctor. Otherwise record it as an attendance at a Nurse Clinic or a face to face contact with another health professional. For example, you can record multi-disciplinary clinics or group therapy sessions as Consultant Clinics if a doctor is present and sees PATIENTS. Similarly, a Genitourinary Medicine clinic can be a Consultant Clinic if a doctor is present and sees PATIENTS, otherwise the Genitourinary Medicine clinic is classed as a Nurse Clinic. Similarly, a Sexual and Reproductive Health Clinic can be a Consultant Clinic if a doctor is present and sees PATIENTS, otherwise the Sexual and Reproductive Health Clinic is classed as a Nurse Clinic.
During an attendance at an Out-Patient Clinic, a PATIENT may see a doctor and also see a NURSE or other health professional at another clinic, for example, for dietary advice or counselling. If the NURSE or health professional have their own list of PATIENTS, this attendance would need to be recorded separately as appropriate, e.g. a Nurse Clinic attendance.

Where care is provided by two or more CONSULTANTS within the same episode, one CONSULTANT will take overriding responsibility for the PATIENT and only one Consultant Episode (Hospital Provider) is recorded. Additional CONSULTANTS participating in the care of PATIENTS are defined as Shared Care Consultants. A Consultant Episode (Hospital Provider) includes those episodes for which a GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER is acting as a CONSULTANT.
A PATIENT going on Home Leave, or Mental Health Leave Of Absence for 28 days or less, or has a current period of Mental Health Absence Without Leave of 28 days or less, does not interrupt the Consultant Episode (Hospital Provider).
A PATIENT may not have concurrent Consultant Episodes (Hospital Provider) but can have Consultant Out-Patient Episodes overlapping with a Consultant Episode (Hospital Provider). A Consultant Episode (Hospital Provider) must not overlap with a Nursing Episode for the same PATIENT.
Any time spent as a LODGED PATIENT before being admitted to a WARD is included in the first Consultant Episode (Hospital Provider).
A CONSULTANT transfer occurs when the responsibility for a PATIENT transfers from one CONSULTANT (or GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER acting as a CONSULTANT) to another within a Hospital Provider Spell. In this case one Consultant Episode (Hospital Provider) will end and another one begin.
A transfer of responsibility may occur from a CONSULTANT to the PATIENT's own GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER (not acting as CONSULTANT) with the PATIENT still in a WARD or Care Home to receive nursing care. In this case the Consultant Episode (Hospital Provider) will end and a Nursing Episode will begin.
A transfer of responsibility from the PATIENT's own GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER to a CONSULTANT while the PATIENT is in a WARD or Care Home for nursing care will end the Nursing Episode and begin a Consultant Episode (Hospital Provider).
During the Consultant Episode (Hospital Provider) a number of Patient Procedures and PATIENT DIAGNOSES may be recorded.
If this is the first episode under a CONSULTANT in one of the psychiatric specialties within the Hospital Provider Spell, the appropriate PSYCHIATRIC PATIENT STATUS should be recorded.

A Consultant Out-Patient Episode starts on the date the PATIENT first sees or is in contact with the CONSULTANT at an Out-Patient Attendance Consultant. The episode ends when the PATIENT is not given a further Out-Patient Appointment by the CONSULTANT or the PATIENT has not attended or been contacted for six months with no forthcoming APPOINTMENT. If after discharge the condition deteriorates and the PATIENT returns to a clinic run by the same CONSULTANT, this is a new episode (referral).
During the Consultant Out-Patient Episode the PATIENT may be subject to more than one ADMINISTRATIVE CATEGORY PERIOD.
Notes:
Do not count the following attendances or contacts as part of a Consultant Out-Patient Episode:
- Nurse Clinic APPOINTMENT / attendance;
- face to face contacts with other health professionals;
- contact with community NURSES;
If the treatment changes but the CONSULTANT stays the same, record it as the same Consultant Out-Patient Episode; if the CONSULTANT changes but the treatment stays the same, record it as a new Consultant Out-Patient Episode.
A Consultant Out-Patient Episode would not necessarily terminate because a PATIENT was admitted into hospital or placed on an ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST; if further APPOINTMENTS in respect of the same referral with the CONSULTANT are intended or expected, these would all be included in the same Consultant Out-Patient Episode, with attendances after the end of a Hospital Provider Spell counting as follow-up attendances.
Note that a PATIENT can have a concurrent Consultant Out-Patient Episode and Hospital Provider Spell. For example, a PATIENT in a long-stay WARD under the care of a psychiatrist might also be attending a general surgeon.

Scope:
The Critical Care Minimum Data Set was developed by the Critical Care Information Advisory Group (CCIAG) and endorsed by the Intensive Care Society.
The Critical Care Minimum Data Set contains a subset of mandatory items for the generation of Critical Care Healthcare Resource Groups (HRGs). The Critical Care HRG subset replaced the Augmented Care Period data elements in the Commissioning Data Sets.
The purpose of the Critical Care Minimum Data Set is to provide a standardised set of data to support Payment by Results, Healthcare Resource Groups, Resource Management, Commissioning and national policy analysis. The full Critical Care Minimum Data Set has been incorporated into and is consistent with the ICNARC (Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre) data collection.
The Critical Care Minimum Data Set has been developed to be used in all units where Critical Care is provided. That is where the CRITICAL CARE LEVEL is National Code:
- 02 Patients requiring more detailed observation or intervention including support for a single failing organ system or post-operative care and those 'stepping down' from higher levels of care
- 03 Patients requiring advanced respiratory support alone or monitoring and support for two or more organ systems. This level includes all complex patients requiring support for multi-organ failure.

The Department of Health requires summary details from Primary Care Trusts to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Immunisation Programme.
The Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Programme for England commenced in September 2008, the first TARGET POPULATION being for females born between 1st September 1995 and 31st August 1996. This is the first HEALTH PROGRAMME STAGE for a routine annual Immunisation Programme for all 12-13 year old females.
Details of the routine and catch-up collections for the Human Papillomavirus Immunisation Programme are available at: Department of Health Key Vaccine Information
It is recommended for the vaccine delivery to be in Schools/Colleges but Primary Care Trusts are responsible for implementing the programme according to their local needs.
Each Primary Care Trust will collect and return data on the females in a particular TARGET POPULATION. Primary Care Trusts are recommended to run a Schools-based programme, but some may choose not to. The ANNUAL TARGET DENOMINATOR (HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS VACCINE) will either be Schools based or non-Schools based.
The Human Papillomavirus vaccine requires 3 separate doses to complete a full course. It is recommended that this full course is given within a 6 month period, but it may be given in a period of up to 12 months. However, to allow for those that missed one or more doses in their TARGET POPULATION year, summary data will be collected every year for each TARGET POPULATION until those PERSONS reach 18 years old.
Although data is collected monthly in the HPV Immunisation Programme Vaccine Monitoring Monthly Minimum Data Set, it is recognised that Primary Care Trusts may not be aware of the number of other females they are responsible for at the start of the HPV Immunisation Programme Vaccine Monitoring Monthly Minimum Data Set campaign year. However by the end of the School Year, Primary Care Trusts will have had opportunity to complete vaccinations for any others they are responsible for and these will be included in the HPV Immunisation Programme Vaccine Monitoring Annual Minimum Data Set together with the HPV Immunisation Programme Vaccine Monitoring Monthly Minimum Data Sets. However by the end of the School Year, Primary Care Trusts will have had opportunity to complete vaccinations for any others they are responsible for and these will be included in the HPV Immunisation Programme Vaccine Monitoring Annual Minimum Data Set together with the HPV Immunisation Programme Vaccine Monitoring Monthly Minimum Data Set.

Contextual Overview
The NHS need to measure and monitor the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD within PATIENT PATHWAYS to ensure that they are progressing as planned to achieve the 18 weeks target.
In an estimated 10% to 20% of cases, responsibility for the PATIENT PATHWAY will be transferred between Health Care Providers. The receiving Health Care Provider would be unable to report on the 18 weeks target for these cases unless the referring Health Care Provider supplied the PATIENT PATHWAY information at the time of transfer.
This data set specifies the data necessary to permit the receiving Health Care Provider to be able to report the PATIENT's progress along their PATIENT PATHWAY and, in particular, their REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD.
Scope and Collection
Completion is mandatory for all PATIENTS with a REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD where there has been a transfer of care to an alternative Health Care Provider.
- Completion is advisable for PATIENTS without a REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD, where there has been a transfer of care to an alternative Health Care Provider, but this is voluntary.
- The referring ORGANISATION should send the data set within 48 hours of DECISION TO REFER DATE (INTER-PROVIDER TRANSFER).
- Inter-provider transfer SERVICE REQUESTS for clinical opinion or diagnostics, where the care of the PATIENT remains with the referring Health Care Provider, are voluntary.
- SERVICE REQUESTS associated with the following PATIENT PATHWAYS are also not currently included:
- Non-elective PATIENTS
- Planned admissions (usually part of a planned sequence of clinical care determined mainly on social or clinical criteria, for example, a check cystoscopy).

The Mental Health Minimum Data Set was introduced by Data Set Change Notice 20/19/P13 in April 2000 in response to the lack of national clinical data collection in the mental health arena, in line with the information requirements of the emerging National Service Framework for Mental Health.
Since April 2003 (Data Set Change Notice 49/2002) it has been a mandatory requirement that all Providers of specialist adult, including elderly, mental health services submit central Mental Health Minimum Data Set returns on a quarterly basis, with an additional annual submission.
The Mental Health Minimum Data Set facilitates the collection of person-focussed clinical data and the sharing of such data to underpin the delivery of mental health care. It is structured around the clinical process and includes an outcome assessment (Health of the Nation Outcome Scale (Working Age Adults), or HoNOS (Working Age Adults)). It records the key role played by partner agencies, particularly social services.
The Mental Health Minimum Data Set describes Adult Mental Health Care Spells. These comprise all interventions made for a PATIENT by a specialist Adult Mental Health Care Team from initial REFERRAL REQUEST to final discharge. For some individuals the Adult Mental Health Care Spell will comprise a short Consultant Out-Patient Episode; for others it may extend over many years and include hospital, community, out-patient and day care episodes.
Information is collected relating to various stages in the journey of the PATIENT, including activity such as Hospital Provider Spells, Consultant Out-Patient Episodes, community care, and NHS day care episodes; mental health reviews and assessments including Care Programme Approach (CPA) and Health of the Nation Outcome Scale (Working Age Adults) contacts with mental health professionals such as care co-ordinators, psychiatric NURSES and CONSULTANTS; and also any diagnosis and treatment.
The prime purpose of the Mental Health Minimum Data Set is to provide local clinicians and managers with better quality information for clinical audit, and service planning and management.
Central collection provides improved national information, facilitating feedback to Trusts, and the setting of benchmarks. It will also allow the delivery of the National Service Framework for Mental Health priorities to be monitored.
The Mental Health Minimum Data Set data is collected from NHS funded providers of specialist mental health services and submitted via the Bureau Services Portal provided by the Systems and Services Delivery (SSD) team at NHS Connecting For Health. The Bureau Service processes submissions and and produces local extracts for provider and commissioner ORGANISATIONS, and a national pseudonymised extract for The NHS Information Centre for health and social care, for storage, analysis and reporting. The Bureau Service processes submissions and produces local extracts for provider and commissioner ORGANISATIONS, and a national pseudonymised extract for The NHS Information Centre for health and social care, for storage, analysis and reporting.
Please note that the collection of the Mental Health Minimum Data Set does not replace any other collection of mental health data such as the Admitted Patient Care Commissioning Data Set Type Detained and/or Long Term Psychiatric Census, which should continue to be collected.

The National Direct Access Audiology Patient Tracking List Data Set collects performance information on a weekly basis, on the Referral To Treatment pathways of PATIENTS who are receiving NHS funded audiology treatment in England, who are not already included in the Referral to Treatment Summary Patient Tracking List Data Set. This includes:
- both analogue and digital hearing aid fittings
- services provided directly by NHS Healthcare Providers and also NHS funded PATIENTS treated via the Independent Sector and third sector providers (collected directly or via Primary Care Trusts)
- both new and existing PATIENTS
- any other PATIENTS attending Audiology services directly
For the purposes of the National Direct Access Audiology Patient Tracking List Data Set, "Direct Access" means PATIENTS who are not referred via Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) or other hospital CONSULTANT. Any pathways that are subject to the 18 weeks waiting time target for Referral to Treatment are out of scope. For this reason PATIENTS on Ear, Nose and Throat pathways (or pathways from other specialties) are excluded from this central return data set - information on these PATIENTS is available via the Referral to Treatment Summary Patient Tracking List Data Set data collection.
The National Direct Access Audiology Patient Tracking List Data Set is in two parts, as follows:
Parts 1A and 1B: Untreated Patients
Part 1A should be completed for PATIENTS who have not had an ACTIVITY which ends their REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD (such as first definitive treatment, or a decision not to treat)
AND
who do not have a future APPOINTMENT for an ACTIVITY with an anticipated REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD STATUS of 30 before the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD EXCEEDS 18 WEEKS DATE.
Part 1B should be completed for PATIENTS who have not had an ACTIVITY which ends their REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD (such as first definitive treatment, or a decision not to treat)
AND
whose REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD EXCEEDS 18 WEEKS DATE has passed.
Part 2 should be completed for PATIENTS who have a REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END DATE within the last 7 days
Full guidance on the completion and submission of the National Direct Access Audiology Waiting Times Data Set is available from the Department of Health website.

Scope:
The definition of the Neonatal Critical Care is linked to the definition of Neonatal Critical Care Healthcare Resource Groups. These closely follow the definitions contained in the 2003 Department of Health report 'Report of the Neonatal Intensive Care Services Review Group'.
This takes account of related definitions which have been developed for the Maternity and Child Health data sets which are currently being drafted by The NHS Information Centre for health and social care.
The scope of the Neonatal Critical Care Minimum Data Set is:
| a) | All PATIENTS on a WARD with a CRITICAL CARE UNIT FUNCTION Neonatal Intensive Care Unit regardless of care being delivered. |
| b) | All PATIENTS (excluding Mothers) on a WARD with a CRITICAL CARE UNIT FUNCTION Facility for Babies on a Neonatal Transitional Care Ward or Facility for Babies on a Maternity Ward to whom one or more of the following CRITICAL CARE ACTIVITIES applies for a period greater than 4 hours: |
| 01 | Respiratory support via a tracheal tube |
| 02 | Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (nCPAP) |
| 04 | Exchange Transfusion |
| 05 | Peritoneal Dialysis |
| 06 | Continuous infusion of inotrope, pulmonary vasodilator or prostaglandin |
| 07 | Parentral Nutrition |
| 08 | Convulsions |
| 09 | Oxygen Therapy |
| 10 | Neonatal abstinence syndrome |
| 11 | Care of an intra-arterial catheter or chest drain |
| 12 | Dilution Exchange Transfusion |
| 13 | Tracheostomy cared for by nursing staff |
| 14 | Tracheostomy cared for by external carer |
| 15 | Recurrent apnoea |
| 16 | Haemofiltration |
| 22 | Continuous monitoring |
| 23 | Intravenous glucose and electrolyte solutions |
| 24 | Tube-fed |
| 25 | Barrier nursed |
| 26 | Phototherapy |
| 27 | Special monitoring |
| 28 | Observations at regular intervals |
| 29 | Intravenous medication |
If one or more of these CRITICAL CARE ACTIVITIES apply to a PATIENT, then the PATIENT would be counted as receiving Neonatal Critical Care at the level of Intensive Care, High Dependency Care or Special Care depending on the CRITICAL CARE ACTIVITIES which apply.
Except in very exceptional circumstances, CRITICAL CARE ACTIVITIES 01 to 16 will only occur in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit environment where all PATIENTS are covered by Neonatal Critical Care Minimum Data Set regardless of treatment. Care on WARDS with a CRITICAL CARE UNIT FUNCTION of 'Facility for Babies on a Neonatal Transitional Care Ward' or 'Facility for Babies on a Maternity Ward' will only be in respect of CRITICAL CARE ACTIVITIES 22 to 29 unless very exceptional circumstances apply. This does not prevent these WARDS recording CRITICAL CARE ACTIVITIES 01 to 16 on the Neonatal Critical Care Minimum Data Set if they occur. However, it does mean that such settings will in practice be dealing with a much shorter list of CRITICAL CARE ACTIVITIES which would determine whether the Neonatal Critical Care Minimum Data Set applied or not.

The attendance will be part of a Consultant Out-Patient Episode.An Out-Patient Attendance Consultant is an attendance at which a PATIENT is seen by or has contact with (face to face or via telephone/telemedicine) a CONSULTANT, in respect of one referral, that is not a visit to the home of a PATIENT for which a fee is payable under paragraph 140 of the Terms and Conditions of Service.
For an Out-Patient Attendance Consultant, a CONSULTANT includes a member of the CONSULTANT's firm or locum for such a member.
An Out-Patient Attendance Consultant will be part of a Consultant Out-Patient Episode.
If a PATIENT is seen by a CONSULTANT at a Consultant Clinic then this will be a Clinic Attendance Consultant. An attendance may involve more than one PERSON (e.g. a family). The number of attendances to be recorded should be the number of PATIENTS for whom the particular CONSULTANT has identifiable individual records and which will be maintained as a result of the attendance.
A visit to the home of a PATIENT made at the instance of a hospital or specialist to review the urgency of a proposed admission to hospital, or to continue to supervise treatment initiated or prescribed at a hospital or clinic is covered by this definition.
Out-Patient Attendance Consultant also includes a PATIENT being seen by a CONSULTANT from a different MAIN SPECIALTY CODE during a Consultant Episode (Hospital Provider) in circumstances where there is no transfer of responsibility for the care of the PATIENT.
If the PATIENT is currently subject to a Mental Health Care Spell and the CONSULTANT they are in contact with during attendance is their allocated Care Programme Approach care coordinator then a Face To Face Contact CPA Care Coordinator should also be recorded.
During the Out-Patient Attendance Consultant, a number of PATIENT DIAGNOSES and Patient Procedures may be recorded.
A series of Out-Patient Attendance Consultant will form a Consultant Out-Patient Episode, generated from a single referral. Note that it is possible to have two Consultant Out-Patient Episodes with the same CONSULTANT for different clinical conditions, if two referrals are made. An attendance may involve more than one PERSON - for example, a family. Out-Patient Attendance Consultant can take place outside a clinic session, and can take place at the PATIENT's normal place of residence.
A PATIENT attending a WARD for examination or care will be counted as an Out-Patient Attendance Consultant if he/she is seen by a doctor. If they are only seen by a NURSE, they are a Ward Attendance.
An Out-Patient Attendance Consultant should also be recorded where a PATIENT is seen by a CONSULTANT from a different MAIN SPECIALTY CODE during a Consultant Episode (Hospital Provider) where there is no transfer of responsibility for the care of the PATIENT. For example, a PATIENT who is admitted to hospital under a Gastroenterology specialty following an overdose may be seen while still in hospital by a psychiatrist who has been asked to assess their mental condition. The assessment by the psychiatrist should be recorded as an Out-Patient Attendance Consultant.

| 05 | Peritoneal dialysis (acute patients only i.e. excluding chronic) |
| 06 | Continuous infusion of inotrope, pulmonary vasodilator or prostaglandin |
| 09 | Supplemental oxygen therapy (irrespective of ventilatory state) |
| 13 | Tracheostomy cared for by nursing staff |
| 16 | Haemofiltration |

If one or more of these items apply to a PATIENT, then the PATIENT would be counted as receiving Paediatric Critical Care at one of the levels of Intensive Care or High Dependency Care depending on the conditions/interventions which apply.
A number of these interventions will only occur in a Paediatric Intensive Care Unit environment where all PATIENTS are covered by the Paediatric Critical Care Minimum Data Set regardless of treatment. Care for PATIENTS outside of a Paediatric Intensive Care Unit will in practice be dealing with a shorter list of interventions. The Paediatric Critical Care Minimum Data Set should not be collected in facilities other than those with CRITICAL CARE UNIT FUNCTION:
- Paediatric Intensive Care Unit; or
- Ward for children and young people; or
- High Dependency Unit for children and young people; or
- Renal Unit for children and young people; or
- Burns Unit for children and young people; or
- Non standard location using the operating department for children and young people.
The Commissioning Data Set message will prevent submission of Paediatric Critical Care Minimum Data Set when submitted with a CRITICAL CARE UNIT FUNCTION other than those listed above.
The Paediatric Critical Care Minimum Data Set will be carried as part of the following Admitted Patient Care Commissioning Data Set Types:
- The Admitted Patient Care Finished General Episode (Commissioning Data Set TYPE 130)
- The Admitted Patient Care Unfinished General Episode (Commissioning Data Set TYPE 190)
- The Admitted Patient Care Delivery Episode (Commissioning Data Set TYPE 140)
- The Admitted Patient Care Unfinished Delivery Episode (Commissioning Data Set TYPE 200)
- The Admitted Patient Care Finished Birth Episode (Commissioning Data Set TYPE 120)

As signalled in the 2008/09 NHS Operating Framework, Performance Sharing between all Health Care Providers on an 18 week referral to treatment PATIENT PATHWAY is being introduced to monitor the waits for PATIENTS on inter-provider pathways. These PATIENTS include many with the most complex and demanding needs. Currently, only the Health Care Provider treating the PATIENT reports the performance for that PATIENT PATHWAY. Performance Sharing changes this.
The long-term solution for 18 week Peformance Sharing is for all Health Care Providers in a PATIENT PATHWAY to submit Referral To Treatment data to the Secondary Uses Service, which will allocate out the successes and breaches to all Health Care Providers involved in a REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD.
The long-term solution for 18 week Performance Sharing is for all Health Care Providers in a PATIENT PATHWAY to submit Referral To Treatment data to the Secondary Uses Service, which will allocate out the successes and breaches to all Health Care Providers involved in a REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD. However it has been identified that an interim solution is required during the period that there is a mixed economy between Commissioning Data Set version 5 and version 6 submissions to the Secondary Uses Service, and until all Health Care Providers are submitting the Referral To Treatment data items in Commissioning Data Set version 6 format. Performance Sharing reporting is available within the Secondary Uses Service Release 4. Therefore to ensure that Performance Sharing is in place for individual Health Care Providers from January 2009, a voluntary monthly central return for Perfomance Sharing is required. Therefore to ensure that Performance Sharing is in place for individual Health Care Providers from January 2009, a voluntary monthly central return for Performance Sharing is required.
Scope
The Referral To Treatment Performance Sharing Data Set may be voluntarily submitted by any Health Care Provider recording a REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END DATE where the PATIENT has transferred between Health Care Providers as part of a single REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD. The information is submitted as aggregated data, by each referring Health Care Provider. The central return shows only breaches apportioned between the last two Health Care Providers in the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD.
Collections
The Health Care Provider recording the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END DATE may submit the following data:

Referral to Treatment Summary Patient Tracking List to support delivery of 18 week waiting times
The national 18 Week Summary Patient Tracking List is intended to collect a set of performance information about PATIENTS with active REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIODS that are nearing the 18 week target date. Its main purpose is to focus on those PATIENTS that may potentially breach the 18 week target, providing a structure which enables the most 'at risk' PATIENTS to be clearly identified. The 18 Week Referral to Treatment Summary Patient Tracking List does not cover all the components of a Patient Tracking List that individual Providers and Commissioners may wish to develop and share - especially at PATIENT level. The sharing of any extended data sets between Providers and Commissioners is subject to local arrangements. Examples of patient-level data sets developed during piloting of this central return, are available from the Department of Health 18 week website (address below).
For most PATIENTS the start of a REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD begins with a GP REFERRAL REQUEST to a CONSULTANT in secondary care. In addition this data set also covers REFERRAL REQUESTS to CONSULTANTS from:
- GENERAL DENTAL PRACTITIONERS (GDP)
- General Practitioners with Special Interests (GPwSI) or Dentists with Special Interests (DwSI)
- OPTOMETRIST
- Orthoptists
- Accident and Emergency Departments (where PATIENTS are transferred to an elective pathway)
- Minor injuries units (where PATIENTS are transferred to an elective pathway)
- Walk in centres (WICs) (where PATIENTS are transferred to an elective pathway)
- Genitourinary medicine clinics
- National Screening Programmes (for non-malignant conditions)
- Specialist NURSES or allied health professionals where Primary Care Trusts have approved these mechanisms locally.
Referrals to nurse consultants and allied health professionals are currently out of scope for 18 weeks Referral To Treatment monitoring.
Guidance on the measurement of REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIODS, 18 week clock rules, and Frequently Asked Questions, are all available from the Department of Health 18 week website. Additional Frequently Asked Questions about 18 weeks are also available from the NHS Data Model and Dictionary website.
The Referral to Treatment Summary Patient Tracking List is in three parts, as follows:
Parts 1A and 1B: Patients where the intent is to treat in an outpatient setting (including PATIENTS where it has not yet been decided whether to admit for treatment or treat in outpatients)
Part 1A should be completed for PATIENTS without a DECISION TO ADMIT for treatment, who have not had an ACTIVITY that ends the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD (such as their first definitive treatment, a decision to start active monitoring, or who did not attend their first APPOINTMENT)
AND either
a. do not have a future APPOINTMENT where the anticipated REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD STATUS is 30
OR
b. do have a future APPOINTMENT where the anticipated REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD STATUS is 30, but not earlier than the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD BREACH DATE.
Part 1B should be completed for PATIENTS without a DECISION TO ADMIT for treatment, who have not had an ACTIVITY that ends the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD (such as their first definitive treatment, a decision to start Active Monitoring, or who did not attend their first APPOINTMENT)
AND
whose REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD BREACH DATE has been reached.
Note that parts 1A and 1B of the 18 Week Referral To Treatment Summary Patient Tracking List are required for submission from 6 January 2008 onwards.
Parts 2A and 2B: Patients where the intent is to admit for treatment
Part 2A should be completed for PATIENTS with a DECISION TO ADMIT for treatment, who have not had an ACTIVITY that ends the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD (such as their first definitive treatment, a decision to start Active Monitoring, or who did not attend their first APPOINTMENT)
AND either
a. do not have an agreed OFFERED FOR ADMISSION DATE with an anticipated REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD STATUS of 30
OR
b. do have an agreed OFFERED FOR ADMISSION DATE with an anticipated REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD STATUS of 30, but not earlier than the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD BREACH DATE.
Part 2B should be completed for PATIENTS with a DECISION TO ADMIT for treatment, who have not had an ACTIVITY that ends the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD (such as their first definitive treatment, a decision to start Active Monitoring, or who did not attend their first APPOINTMENT)
AND
whose REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD BREACH DATE has been reached.
Note that Parts 2A and 2B of the 18 Week Referral To Treatment Summary Patient Tracking List are required for submission from July 2007 onwards.
Part 3 - Patients with a clock stop in the last week (who have either been treated, or whose REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD ended for other reasons).
This section should be completed for PATIENTS with a REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END DATE within the last 7 days.
Note that within Part 3 of the 18 Week Referral To Treatment Summary Patient Tracking List, the three data elements relating to admitted PATIENTS are required for submission from July 2007 onwards; the other three data elements relating to non-admitted PATIENTS are required for submission from 6 January 2008 onwards.

Collection and Submission
This return relates to ACTIVITY taking place over a 3 month period. The return is made quarterly and should be submitted by the thirty second working day after the end of the quarter to which it relates.
This data should be submitted for each Primary Care Trust.
The data should be collected on responsible Primary Care Trust basis. The Primary Care Trust's responsible population comprises:
- all PERSONS registered with a GP Practice that forms part of the Primary Care Trust, regardless of where the PERSON is resident, plus any PERSONS not registered with a GP Practice who are resident within the Primary Care Trust's statutory geographical boundary.
- Note that PERSONS resident within the Primary Care Trust's statutory geographical boundary, but registered with a GP Practice that forms part of another Primary Care Trust, are the responsibility of that other Primary Care Trust.
- The only exception to the above rules is where PERSONS receive a Stop Smoking Service at or near their workplace, which may be some distance from their home. For example, a Stop Smoking Service might be provided for commuters at their workplace in a large city. In such circumstances it is likely that people will be drawn from a range of places in the surrounding area e.g. commuters to London who live all around the south-east of England. Where a PERSON is judged to meet these criteria, the Primary Care Trust providing the Stop Smoking Service should include these people in their returns.
- all PERSONS registered with a GP Practice that forms part of the Primary Care Trust, regardless of where the PERSON is resident, plus any PERSONS not registered with a GP Practice who are resident within the Primary Care Trust's statutory geographical boundary.

A Ward Attendance should be recorded for only one Nurse or Midwife Contact. If the attendance is primarily for the purpose of examination or treatment by a doctor it is an Out-Patient Attendance Consultant and not a Ward Attendance. The care is for the prevention, cure, relief or investigation because of a disease, injury, health problem or other factor affecting their health status and may include one or more Patient Procedures. This includes:-
| a. | Disease (physical or mental) confirmed or suspected - inclusive of undiagnosed signs or symptoms. | |
| b. | Injury - inclusive of poisoning - confirmed or suspected. | |
| c. | Health problem e.g. prostheses or graft in situ | |

Each Ward Stay is within only one Hospital Provider Spell.
When a PATIENT takes Home Leave, Mental Health Leave Of Absence or has a current period of Mental Health Absence Without Leave, this should be recorded as a WARD transfer to 'Home Leave', 'leave of absence' or 'absence without leave' and a new Ward Stay should begin on return. In the case of Home Leave, the Nursing Episode, Midwife Episode or Consultant Episode (Hospital Provider), Hospital Stay or Hospital Provider Spell however remain uninterrupted. In the case of Mental Health Leave Of Absence and Mental Health Absence Without Leave, the Nursing Episode, Midwife Episode, Consultant Episode (Hospital Provider) or Hospital Provider Spell however will only remain uninterrupted if the absence is for a period of 28 days or less.
In the case of PATIENTS using maternity WARDS of the same type on the same site, these should be recorded as one WARD. There will therefore only be one Ward Stay rather than transfers between WARDS. For local purposes, however, such transfers may be identified.
For PATIENTS subject to a Mental Health Care Spell the End Time of the Ward Stay should be recorded, as well as the Start Time if systems permit.
For each Ward Stay there should be a named NURSE or MIDWIFE who is responsible for the nursing or midwifery care of the PATIENT. If the named NURSE or MIDWIFE changes, the change is recorded.

Notes:
ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF COMMISSIONER) is the ORGANISATION CODE of the ORGANISATION commissioning health care.
This should always be the ORGANISATION CODE of the original commissioner for Commissioning Data Sets to support Payment by Results.
The Department of Health document "Who pays? Establishing the Responsible Commissioner" sets out a framework for establishing responsibility for commissioning an individual's care within the NHS, (i.e. determining who pays for a PATIENT’s care.) The guidance is set out in three sections:
- Section 1: Establishing who pays - sets out the key principles
- Section 2: Applying the key principles - gives further details about a number of services and situations where further clarification of how the key principles are applied may be helpful
- Section 3: Exceptions to the key principles - outlines the exceptions to the key principles e.g. prisoners, continuing care arrangements.
Note: There is no obligation for a PERSON to state their place of residence (particularly where an issue of security arises).
Enquiries relating to this document should be directed to the Department of Health, see the Department of Health website for contact details.
The following sections, provide guidance as to which code(s) should be used as the ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF COMMISSIONER).
General Medical Practitioner Practice Registration (England):
- Where the PATIENT is registered with a General Medical Practitioner Practice, the ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF COMMISSIONER) will be the 3 digit ORGANISATION CODE of the Primary Care Trust or Care Trust that holds the contract with that General Medical Practitioner Practice.
- If a PATIENT is not registered with a General Medical Practitioner Practice, the ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF COMMISSIONER) is derived from the PATIENT's POSTCODE OF USUAL ADDRESS, where they reside within the boundary of a:
- Local Commissioning Group (Northern Ireland) Guidance on the use of Northern Ireland codes can be found in Data Set Change Notice 19/2009
- If a PATIENT is not registered with a General Medical Practitioner Practice and is unable to give an ADDRESS, the ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF COMMISSIONER) will be the ORGANISATION CODE of the ORGANISATION where the unit providing the treatment is located.
General Medical Practitioner Practice Registration (Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland):
- For PATIENTS who are resident in England but registered with a General Medical Practitioner Practice in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, the ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF COMMISSIONER) is the English Primary Care Trust or Care Trust in whose area the PATIENT is resident.
PATIENTS from the Channel Islands:
- The bilateral healthcare agreement between the United Kingdom and the Channel Islands terminated on 31st March 2009.
- Channel Islands visitors to England are therefore liable for the same NHS charges as visitors from any other non-European Economic Area (EEA) country that the United Kingdom has no bilateral agreement with.
- As with all PATIENTS who are Overseas Visitors seeking NHS hospital care in England, they are identified by the OVERSEAS VISITORS STATUS CLASSIFICATION to establish whether they are exempt from payment or liable for fees.
- The Department of Health document Termination of bilateral healthcare agreement with the Channel Islands details these changes.
Overseas PATIENTS: charge-exempt:
- PATIENTS are identified by the OVERSEAS VISITORS STATUS CLASSIFICATION where the National Code is either 1 'Exempt from payment - subject to reciprocal health agreement' or 2 'Exempt from payment - other'.
- PATIENT ACTIVITY is funded via the main (host) commissioner - normally the Primary Care Trust or Care Trust with the highest value of NHS SERVICE AGREEMENTS with the ORGANISATION providing the treatment.
- National Commissioning Group is also responsible for charge-exempt Overseas Visitors who require services covered by the National Commissioning Group commissioning arrangements and funded through the National Commissioning Group central budget.
PATIENTS - liable for charges (Overseas and Private):
- PATIENTS who are Overseas Visitors are identified by the OVERSEAS VISITORS STATUS CLASSIFICATION where the National Code is 4 'To pay all fees'.
- Private PATIENTS are identified by the ADMINISTRATIVE CATEGORY CODE 02 'Private patient, one who uses accommodation or services authorised under section 65 and/or section 66 of the NHS Act 1977 (Section 7(10) of Health and Medicine Act 1988 refers) as amended by section 26 of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990'.
VPP00 'Private PATIENTS / Overseas Visitor liable for charge' should be used as the ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF COMMISSIONER) for these PATIENTS.
Prisoners:
- Since April 2003, GP Practice registration (if any) is disregarded for PERSONS who are detained in prison in England. The Primary Care Trust or Care Trust in which the prison is located is responsible for commissioning NHS services for those prisoners, including NHS dental services.
- For those usually resident outside the United Kingdom, the responsible commissioner will be the Primary Care Trust or Care Trust in which the prison is located.
- PERSONS usually resident overseas held in English prisons are exempt from charges for NHS hospital treatment. There is no centrally held budget for this group and costs should be borne by the Primary Care Trust or Care Trust in which the prison is located.
Ministry of Defence:
- Upon enlistment, Primary Care Trusts and Care Trusts are required to de-register members of the British Armed Forces from their General Medical Practitioner Practice registration list and they should not be able to re-register until they have been discharged. During this time, the Ministry of Defence is responsible for their primary medical services which has specific contractual and entitlement arrangements with the NHS.
- This does not apply to dependants of British Armed Forces members, who can remain registered with a General Medical Practitioner Practice.
- XMD00 'Commissioner Code for Ministry of Defence (MoD) Healthcare' should be used as the ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF COMMISSIONER) for members of British Armed Forces (not dependants).
Specialised Commissioning (England):
For episodes funded directly by theNational Commissioning Group(NCG), code YDD82'Episodes funded directly by theNational Commissioning Groupfor England'should be used as theORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF COMMISSIONER).- For episodes funded directly by the National Commissioning Group (NCG), code YDD82 'Episodes funded directly by the National Commissioning Group for England' should be used as the ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF COMMISSIONER).
- Charge-exempt Overseas Visitors who require SERVICES covered by the National Commissioning Group arrangements are funded through the National Commissioning Group.
