3.  SYSTEM REFORM

3.1.3  What proportion of NHS activity by volume was performed by ISTCs in each year from 2003-04?

Can the Department indicate where providers have failed to submit activity data as required under their contract? (Q22)

Footnotes:
1.  These data are not subject to the same validation as the NHS data. Only a subset of the detailed NHS validations are carried out on the adjusted admitted independent sector (IS) provider-level data.
2.  No assessment is made of data completeness for IS providers. PCTs are assessed for data completeness and the majority of PCT-commissioned patients have been validated. However, nationally-commissioned patients treated in the IS will not be as accurate.
3.  The data is a mixture of site-level and provider-level data (NHS submissions are at provider level).
4.  Data includes all independent sector facilities.
5.  Data for independent sector facilities is published on NHS Choices.

Footnotes:
1.  Management of ISTC contracts has largely been transitioned to NHS commissioners where data is now routinely used alongside that of core NHS providers.
2.  Partial CDS submission indicates where data validity for key fields is less than 90% on average.
3.  The above analysis is a sample of available data quality information. Quarter 4, 2008-09 is the latest available information.
