This StatsWales cube provides data on the number of patients on disease registers, the overall number of patients registered at GP practices and disease prevalence rates, using disease register data. These are lists of patients registered with GP practices who have been diagnosed with certain medical conditions.Data collection and calculation
The information presented here is provided to the Welsh Government by Digital Health and Care Wales.Prior to 30 September 2022, GP practices were required to maintain disease registers as part of the Quality Assurance and Improvement Framework (QAIF). Since 1 October 2023 maintenance of the same disease registers has been a core contractual requirement for GP practices. This change is administrative only and should not impact on data quality.
The data presented refers to a single point in time. Due to changes in QAIF over time, the reference dates are not exactly the same in each year. Data for 2020, 2021 and 2022 relate to 30 September; data for 2023 relates to 1 October; and all data from 2024 onwards relates to 1 April.
Data for 2023 and 2024 has been extracted using the Audit + system, which uses information directly from GP systems. Prior to this, disease register data was provided as part of a QAIF tool as it was a requirement that all practices provided disease register data through this tool, while practices were not required to use Audit +. Since disease register data became a core contractual requirement rather than a QAIF requirement, data has been extracted using Audit +.
