Disclosure Control:
A new disclosure control methodology is applied to the GP Practice and Sub-ICB data. A summary of the current methodology can be found in the data quality statement on this publication page.
CCGs and Sub-ICBs
On 1st July 2022, as part of the 2022 Health and Care Act, Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) were abolished and replaced as statutory bodies by Integrated Care Boards (ICBs). As part of a transition phase, the geographical areas of former CCGs have been temporarily maintained, but are now known as Sub Integrated Care board (Sub-ICB) locations. For data provided in the csv files prior to Quarter 1 2022-23, Org names and codes refer to CCGs. From Quarter 1 2022-23 organisation names and codes refer to Sub-ICB locations. Although Sub-ICBs did not apply to the Q1 2022-23 period, the source dataset included those breakdowns so they have been used in the published data.
More information about ICBs can be found here: https://digital.nhs.uk/services/organisation-data-service/integrated-care-boards
Purpose of this publication
This online resource will help support the programme to be effective in achieving its aim to reduce the number of women who develop invasive cervical cancer and reduce the number of people who die from it.
The primary care level data pack provides data for GP practices and CCGs to improve cervical screening attendance and coverage rates.
The data provided is primarily at GP practice level and CCG but also local authority level where appropriate.
Data is provided on how the practices compare within the CCG and nationally in relation to cervical screening coverage.
The data will support the CCGs in local improvements and setting priorities in relation to cervical screening.
Who is it for?
For GP practices the resource provides interactive data on the number of people in each practice that have not had a smear test but remain eligible for screening. This data supports practices to identify the size of the cohort to address.
For CCGs the resource provides interactive coverage data on the practices within the CCG. It also provides a CCG comparison and identifies areas for prioritisation and improvement.
For local authorities the resource provides interactive coverage data on their area and identifies areas for improvement and areas to focus health promotion initiatives.
