NHS Standard Contract: Approved Collections

This Schedule, part of the NHS Standard Contract, is managed by the Data Standards Assurance Service (DSAS) within NHS Digital.

It comprises those collections which have either been approved by the Data Alliance Partnership Board and predecessor organisations, or been through a full burden assessment by the former Review of Central Returns (ROCR) and Burden Advice and Assessment Service (BAAS) functions within NHS Digital.

A short form of the current Schedule is shown below. The full form, with contract service categories, is available for download. The Schedule is updated on a monthly basis following DAPB meetings and the approval of new collections.

Note that providers do have other information responsibilities under the NHS Standard Contract, including the need to conform to all NHS information standards notices (ISNs) as appropriate. You can check the full list of current ISNs in the DAPB Directory of Standards and Collections.
