The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA), UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), Office for National Statistics (ONS) and NHS England (NHSE) are making changes to statistical products to move towards an improved, more coherent and efficient health and social care statistical landscape.

Additionally, we are ensuring that the resources are deployed in producing statistics for maximum possible benefit.

This response sets out the changes we are making to products, including:

  • merging and rationalising products to reduce duplication and improve the user experience
  • changing the frequency of products
  • changing the scope and/or volume of products
  • reducing commentary where appropriate (with no reduction in metadata or important information needed to understand and interpret the data)
  • reviewing products, with the aim of improving the quality of these

We will continue to engage with users and review and evolve our statistical products to meet priorities.

We are also seeking an understanding of how clear and valuable users find the current statistical system.

All types of users are encouraged to respond to this consultation - whether in academia, government, the local or national healthcare system or industry, or as interested members of the public.

We are interested in understanding both the user needs of individuals and groups that we may not typically frequently engage with, and our regular users.
