The Commissioning Data Sets (CDS) are maintained and developed by NHS England, in accordance with the needs of the NHS and the Department of Health and Social Care.
Commissioning Data Sets form the basis of data on ACTIVITY carried out by ORGANISATIONS reported centrally for monitoring and payment purposes. They support the current Healthcare Resource Group (HRG) version for calculation of payment to trusts and monitoring of other initiatives.
Requests for changes to the Commissioning Data Sets should be submitted via email to enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk, stating "Commissioning Data Sets" in the subject line.
