Health and social care statistical outputs

Overview

The Health and Social Care Statistics Leadership Forum have commissioned a joint public consultation on health and social care statistical outputs produced by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA), Office for National Statistics (ONS), United Kingdom Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and NHS England (NHSE).

The consultation is seeking views on possible changes to the health and social care statistical products published by these organisations, as well as an understanding of how clear and valuable users find the current statistical system.

The consultation comprises:

• an overarching section to draw out general views on the health and social care statistical landscape
• optional topic-based sections that present proposals for the future of statistical products on those areas and invite topic-specific feedback

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.

The consultation is interested in understanding both the user needs of individuals and groups that these organisations may not typically engage with, and our regular users.
