About this data collection

Categories of activity covered are: eligibility, referrals, conversion rates, personal health budgets and decision support tools. Data are collected quarterly from Clinical Commissioning Groups.

Such care is provided to an individual aged 18 or over, to meet needs that have arisen as a result of disability, accident or illness.
