Article 21 of the Order requires every operator of a private healthcare facility to supply the Private Healthcare Information Network (PHIN) with information about the healthcare episodes it has carried out for patients treated at that facility. The data provided must be sufficiently detailed and complete to enable PHIN to publish information about the performance of the hospital, and consultants who work there, to inform patient choice.

The Ulster Independent Clinic did not provide PHIN with the information required by the Order, namely on admitted patient care, adverse events, patient feedback, patient reported outcomes and consultant engagement. The Ulster Independent Clinic has put a plan in place to address this by August 2023.
