Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps he is taking to encourage the (a) sharing and (b) linking of health and care data; when he expects the hospital episodes statistics database and GP-level data to be linked; and if he will make a statement.
Answered by Dan Poulter
The National Information Board framework for action Personalised Health and Care 2020 published 13 November 2014 confirms local systems will publish detailed plans by April 2016, outlining how they will ensure by 2020 information and data can be comprehensively shared between all settings of care.
NHS England has confirmed that there will be a phased roll out for the care.data programme, starting with up to 265 general practitioner(GP) practices. It is envisaged that data will be extracted from pathfinder practices early in 2015. This will only take place once the Independent Information Governance Oversight Panel, chaired by Dame Fiona Caldicott, has agreed to this and advised the care.data Programme Board and Senior Responsible Owner on the first phase of the programme. No data will be extracted from GP practices as part of the care data programme until Dame Fiona has advised the Secretary of State for Health that she is satisfied with the proposals and safeguards.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what representations his Department has received from (a) NHS organisations, (b) Public Health England, (c) local authorities and (d) other parties on problems in sharing health and care data; what the content of those representations was; and if he will make a statement.
Answered by Dan Poulter
In June this year, the Department undertook a consultation in relation to proposed data sharing regulations associated with ensuring that commissioners are able to access the data they need to undertake their statutory functions, at the same time providing for the necessary controls so that this was limited to the minimum level of information required and for specific purposes.
There were 278 responses from a range of organisations, including from within the National Health Service and Local Government, as well as professional organisations such as the Royal Colleges and service user focussed groups. These responses are currently being considered and a Government response will be issued in due course.
The Department continues to have a regular dialogue with organisations across the health and care system, as well as with the recently appointed National Data Guardian, Dame Fiona Caldicott, so that we can understand the key priorities that exist in relation to data sharing and, from that, consider what contribution the Department can make to ensuring that data sharing is an effective component of securing the best outcomes for patients.

Answered by Norman Lamb
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and adult social care in England. The CQC has provided the following information.
Table 1 shows the number of application processes the CQC has received and undertaken by start date for each fiscal quarter of the last three years.

These figures show applications which have been validated meaning they have both been processed by the CQC’s National Customer Service Centre (NCSC) and Registration Inspectors.
The same applicant may be counted more than once in these figures, as a new process is assigned to each Regulatory Activity the applicant is applying for initially, and for each Location and Regulated Activity the applicant is applying to have added to their registration subsequently.
These numbers also include processes which did not result in completion, due to the applicant having withdrawn their application or the process having been terminated by a Registration Inspector, for example when the applicant was asked to re-submit.

It is not possible to provide data for the first two quarters of 2012-13 as it is incomplete.
Table 2 shows the number of application processes the CQC has completed by start date for each fiscal quarter of the last three years.
These figures show completed applications where a Notice of Decision was approved by a Registration Manager.
As at 10 November 2014, CQC has 35,991 registered managers at 38,056 active locations | ||||||||

The same applicant may be counted more than once in these figures, as a new process is assigned to each Regulatory Activity the applicant is applying for initially, and for any subsequent Location and Regulated Activity that the applicant applies to have added to their registration.
The figures include applications which resulted in a successful registration, as well as applications which resulted in the registration being refused by the CQC. However, owing to the way in which this information is held on the CQC records system, it is not possible to provide separate figures for these two outcomes. | ||||||||
It is also not possible to provide data before 1 October 2012 as it is incomplete. | ||||||||
The difference between number of application processes started and the number of application processes completed can be accounted for through a number of factors. A number of applications will be withdrawn by applicants. Some processes will be terminated by the Registration Inspector (e.g. re-submission of an application). The CQC records system does not break down application processes as approved, refused and withdrawn.
