3.9.6 Could the Department provide a commentary on, and
show evidence of, the progress Trusts and Regions are making in
improving data quality and on the steps the Department has taken
to ensure improvement? [4.15b]
1. HES data quality has been improving over the last
few years and the Department continues to take action to improve
it. In fulfilling the aims set out in the "National Framework
for Assessing Performance", the Data Quality Indicator (DQI),
which includes Maternity HES information and guidance for assessing
Maternity HES data quality, was introduced by the Department in
August 1999. The DQI is now in its third year of running. An improvement
in data quality has been found in 2001 as a result of the inclusion
of the DQI within the NHS Performance Indicators. This indicator
was then used in the July 2002 NHS Performance Ratings as a component
of the "Capacity and Capability Focus" balanced scorecard
area. Coverage and completeness of Maternity data are key components
of the DQI.
2. In addition to the DQI the annual chief executive
sign up now requires a Board level member to be nominated as responsible
for data quality, in line with the guidelines for the Audit Commission
"Light Touch" Review. This involves trust chief executives
committing themselves in writing to assure the quality of their
data, or explaining shortfalls in data standards.
3. In recent months, discussions have taken place with
the NHS-Wide Clearing Service regarding alternative methods of
submission of maternity data. In addition, The Millennium Cohort
Group has been approaching individual hospitals involved in their
study. Latest extracts of provisional Maternity HES show a marked
improvement in the data received from several hospitals as a result
of these initiatives.
3.9.7 Could the Department provide information about
waiting lists, both distribution by waiting time as well as mean
and median average time, on a district of residence basis and
on a provider unit basis? Could the Department update Figure 14.16.1
showing changes in mean and median waiting times since March 1988?
[4.16]
1. Table 3.9.7a shows end March 2002 NHS Trust-based
figures for waiting lists and times for ordinary inpatients and
day cases by region. Responsible population figures are shown
in Table 3.9.7b. Mean and median times on the list are included
in these tables. It should be noted that these figures show patients
waiting on the list at the time of the last count, ie they are
the average lengths of time waited by patients still on a waiting
list.
2. Figure 3.9.7 shows mean and median waiting times from
March 1988 to March 2002.
