To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential risks associated with aggregating NHS performance data; and what steps he is taking to provide transparent data on an individual hospital level for emergency departments.
Karin Smyth
Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
NHS England is publishing more data about patient care in hospital emergency departments than ever before. Performance data is published at an organisational level, so that it is appropriately aligned with accountability.
The Government will continue to consider how to increase the transparency of National Health Service data as part of future reforms.
