Hlth0304 Outpatient attendances: summary data

Health Statistics and Analysis Unit, Welsh Government

Added to StatsWales: 31 October 2012

Next Update: To be confirmed

Source: QS1
Contact: stats.healthinfo@wales.gsi.gov.uk

This table provides historic data on numbers of NHS outpatient attendances by specialty and specialty group at an all Wales level.

Following data quality assessments and reviews of the data, the Welsh Government will be changing to using the Outpatient Activity Data Set (OPA DS) as the source of the official statistics for outpatient activity in the NHS in Wales for 2012-13 data onwards rather than the QS1 return. The reasons for this are to:
- Have just one definitive source of data for outpatient activity data;
- Remove the burden on data providers of supplying data for two similar data sets;
- Remove the confusion for analysts and users which exists by having two similar data sets, containing different data in some cases; and
- Allow more granularity for research and data mining (the OPA DS provides patient level data, whereas the QS1 data collection provides high level, summary data).
If you have any comments on this approach, then please let us know via the contact details above. Further details will follow.
