Data collection and curation

Through central collection, curation and linkage of around 200 national data collections, we maintain a critical national asset for enabling better decision-making for direct care; commissioning, monitoring, evaluation and improvement of health services; policy-making; and research. We also support delivery of social care.

Data we collect, analyse, publish and share
