Introduction

The Female Genital Mutilation Data Set provides essential information in relation to the female genital mutilation population across England.

The Female Genital Mutilation Data Set is used:

• To publish Official Statistics which will inform the Department of Health and Social Care, NHS England, other Government Agencies and the public, about female genital mutilation when it has been identified
• To identify the potential risk of female genital mutilation to young girls and vulnerable women
• For better planning and management of female genital mutilation SERVICES at a local level and across England

Data for an individual PATIENT can be entered using a direct input screen on the NHS England Clinical Audit Platform, or an ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD EXTRACT can be used to submit bulk data uploads on a monthly basis for each ORGANISATION.

CARE CONTACT activities undertaken for female genital mutilation PATIENTS during the REPORTING PERIOD are reported in the data upload.  This includes any attendances at an Out-Patient Clinic led by any type of CARE PROFESSIONAL, Hospital Provider Spells, Emergency Care Attendances, Group Therapy, Ward Attendances; or any other type of direct PATIENT-facing CARE CONTACT, with the exception of Sexual and Reproductive Health Clinics and Genitourinary Medicine (GUM) clinics, who are not required to submit the Female Genital Mutilation Data Set to NHS England.

Introduction

The Neonatal Critical Care Minimum Data Set (NCCMDS) provides a record of what happens to a PATIENT when they receive Neonatal Critical Care in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Maternity WARD, or Neonatal Transitional Care WARD.

The primary purpose of the Neonatal Critical Care Minimum Data Set is to allow the operation of the National Tariff Payment System within neonatal critical care. The Neonatal Critical Care Minimum Data Set supports the National Tariff Payment System by capturing the data needed to generate a Healthcare Resource Group (HRG) for each calendar day (or part thereof) of a period of neonatal critical care; these Healthcare Resource Groups are then used to inform the annual aggregate costing exercise, NHS Reference Costs.

Scope and Uses

The scope of the Neonatal Critical Care Minimum Data Set is:

a) All PATIENTS on a WARD with a CRITICAL CARE UNIT FUNCTION of National Code '13 - Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (Neonatal critical care patients predominate)'.

b) All PATIENTS (excluding Mothers) on a WARD with a CRITICAL CARE UNIT FUNCTION of National Code:

• 14 - Facility for Babies on a Neonatal Transitional Care Ward
• 15 - Facility for Babies on a Maternity Ward

to whom one or more of the following CRITICAL CARE ACTIVITY CODES applies for a period greater than 4 hours:

This data is captured and recorded locally and may be used for the purposes of direct care, clinical audit, Reference Costs, and other local uses. Any transmission of the Neonatal Critical Care Minimum Data Set must be covered by fair processing arrangements in accordance with information governance criteria and appropriate local arrangements.

Commissioning Data Set Transmission

Subject to the Commissioning Data Set Version 6-2 XML Schema Constraints, the Neonatal Critical Care Minimum Data Set is carried into the Secondary Uses Service (SUS) as a part of the following Commissioning Data Set messages, see SCCI0075:

• CDS V6-2 Type 120 - Admitted Patient Care - Finished Birth Episode Commissioning Data Set
• CDS V6-2 Type 130 - Admitted Patient Care - Finished General Episode Commissioning Data Set
• CDS V6-2 Type 180 - Admitted Patient Care - Unfinished Birth Episode Commissioning Data Set
• CDS V6-2 Type 190 - Admitted Patient Care - Unfinished General Episode Commissioning Data Set 

The Secondary Uses Service groups this data into neonatal critical care Healthcare Resource Groups; these are a mandated currency under the National Tariff Payment System.

A Pharmacy Premises is a location where medicinal drugs are dispensed and sold.

General Pharmaceutical Council Registration of Pharmacy Premises:

The General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) maintains a register of Pharmacy Premises if the principal activity at the premises is the retail sale or supply of Pharmacy (P) medicines and / or Prescription Only Medicines (POMs). They are not primarily concerned with NHS Prescriptions.

Once a Pharmacy Premises is registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council it is allocated a registration number which uniquely identifies each registered Pharmacy Premises. This registration number is a 7 digit number starting with the number 1.

All Pharmacy Premises that are currently registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council are listed on the General Pharmaceutical Council Register.

For further information on General Pharmaceutical Council Pharmacy Premises registration, see the General Pharmaceutical Council website.For further information on General Pharmaceutical Council Pharmacy Premises registration, see the General Pharmaceutical Council website at: Pharmacy premises registration.

Organisation Data Service (ODS) Codes:

To be able to dispense NHS Prescriptions, the Pharmacy Premises requires an Organisation Data Service code in addition to the General Pharmaceutical Council registration number.

The Organisation Data Service allocates the following codes:

• Pharmacy
• Pharmacy HQ.

A Region is a GEOGRAPHIC AREA.

After the Comprehensive Spending Review, it was confirmed that the Government Office Regions (GORs) would close at 31 March 2011, shifting focus away from regions to local areas.
