A formal agreement between a commissioner ORGANISATION and one or more provider ORGANISATIONS for the provision of PATIENT care services.

Services may be commissioned in four ways:

• Nationally, arranged through the National Specialist Commissioning Advisory Group (NSCAG)
• Primary Care Trusts acting collectively through regional or sub-regional arrangements for Specialised Services
• At Primary Care Trust level for Non-Contract Activities, for certain limited services commissioned directly by the Primary Care Trust (e.g. screening services) and for Primary Care Trusts acting collectively
• By Primary Care Trusts, acting individually or as part of a commissioning consortia.

The costs of a NHS SERVICE AGREEMENT accrue to the ORGANISATION responsible for commissioning the treatment.

For Commissioning Data Set messages the commissioner is identified in the ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF COMMISSIONER) field.

This indicates whether an APPOINTMENT for a CARE CONTACT took place.

If the APPOINTMENT did not take place it also indicates if advance warning was given.

When an APPOINTMENT is cancelled the APPOINTMENT CANCELLED DATE should also be recorded.

National Codes:

Note: The classification has been listed in logical sequence rather than alphanumeric order.

Use in the Future Outpatient Commissioning Data Set:
For referral records with no APPOINTMENT yet made, or for future APPOINTMENTS, code 0 - Not applicable - APPOINTMENT occurs in the future should be used.
Where the future attendance has been cancelled, use the appropriate value from the National Codes.

Notes:
The number of months an EMPLOYEE has been employed in an ASSIGNMENT for a POSITION in an ORGANISATION, it is calculated as follow:

The format of a date, see DATE, is ccyy-mm-dd and for calculation purposes the difference between the end and start dates should be converted into the number of calendar months to calculate the result.The format of a date, see DATE, is CCYY-MM-DD and for calculation purposes the difference between the end and start dates should be converted into the number of calendar months to calculate the result.

Notes:
The number of years service in an ORGANISATION by an EMPLOYEE.

It is the calculated number of years from the EMPLOYMENT HISTORY ORGANISATION JOINING DATE to the EMPLOYMENT HISTORY EMPLOYMENT LEAVING DATE.

Where there is no recorded EMPLOYMENT HISTORY EMPLOYMENT LEAVING DATE i.e. the EMPLOYEE is still employed or the EMPLOYMENT HISTORY EMPLOYMENT LEAVING DATE is after the REPORTING PERIOD END DATE then the REPORTING PERIOD END DATE should be used instead of the EMPLOYMENT HISTORY EMPLOYMENT LEAVING DATE.

The format of a date, see DATE, is ccyy-mm-dd and for calculation purposes the difference between the joining and leaving dates should be converted into the number of calendar days to calculate the result.The format of a date, see DATE, is CCYY-MM-DD and for calculation purposes the difference between the joining and leaving dates should be converted into the number of calendar days to calculate the result.

Required to be captured locally from 1st April 2008 and nationally from October 2008.

The EMPLOYMENT STATUS (MENTAL HEALTH) of PATIENTS with any mental disorder should be captured periodically for all PATIENTS aged 18-69, typically as part of the PATIENT's regular Care Programme Approach Review or as part of other informal reviews. The data item should reflect the EMPLOYMENT STATUS (MENTAL HEALTH) of the PATIENT in the seven days prior to the review.

PATIENTS who meet the criteria for being employed (1 or more hours per week) or unemployed may also be undertaking another form of activity, such as education or training, unpaid voluntary work, or looking after home or family. PATIENTS in such circumstances should only be reported as employed or unemployed and should not be reported in the 'other' category. For example:
- 'Patient A' is in paid work (4 hours per week) and in full-time education or training. 'Patient A' should only be reported as employed.
- 'Patient B' is unemployed (i.e.not in paid work but actively seeking work and available to start) and in unpaid voluntary work. 'Patient B' should be reported as unemployed.
