These tables cover the period from 30 April 2008 through to the latest period and uses four main earnings measures. Note that from September 2015 this dataset is now updated quarterly.

As expected with provisional statistics, some figures may be revised from month to month as issues are uncovered and resolved. No refreshes of the provisional data will take place either as part of the regular publication process, or where minor enhancements to the methodology have an insignificant impact on the figures at a national level. However, the provisional status allows for this to occur if it is determined that a refresh of data is required subsequent to initial release. Where a refresh of data occurs, it will be clearly documented in the publications.

We welcome feedback on the methodology and tables within this publication. Please send your comments and suggestions, clearly stating 'NHS Staff Earnings' as the subject heading through to enquiries@hscic.gov.uk or 0300 303 5678.

This report presents detailed findings from the 2005 Health Survey for England. The report focuses on the health of older people - those aged 65 and over. Older people were asked questions on core topics such as general health, smoking and fruit and vegetable consumption. They were asked about their use of health, dental and social care services, cardiovascular disease (CVD), chronic diseases and quality of care, disabilities, falls and mental health. Several measurements were taken by specially trained nurses including height and weight, and blood pressure. Tests of physical function were performed and blood samples taken in order to measure conditions such as anaemia. Measures of social capital were included, for example participation in organised associations and contact with friends and family. Several measures of health were included for the first time: measures of function ie grip strength, walking impairment and ability to balance and a measure of geriatric depression.

Data on patient opt-out information received from GP Practices.

There are two types of opt-out:

• A type 1 opt-out prevents information being shared outside a GP practice for purposes other than direct care.

• A type 2 opt-out prevents information being shared outside of the HSCIC for purposes beyond the individual's direct care.

A more detailed description of opt-outs is available from the HSCIC website

Type 1 and type 2 opts-outs are presented at GP practice level. Type 1 opt-outs are reported as instances (i.e. number of times the opt-out code occurs within GP records, which may include the same patient recorded at more than one practice) and there is no way to de-duplicate this information.

Levels of type 1 opt-outs are therefore likely to be higher than levels of type 2 opt-outs, which are de-duplicated.

Persons aged 65 and over immunised against Influenza between October and January. Related links: http://www.hscic.gov.uk/Article/1685 http://www.hscic.gov.uk/searchcatalogue?q=title%3A%22NHS+Immunisation+Statistics%22&area=&size=10&sort=RelevanceDesc

The HES-MHMDS linkage will provide the ability to undertake national (within England) analysis along acute patient pathways for mental health service users, thereby enabling a much deeper understanding of mental health service users' interactions with acute secondary care. For example, analysis of the data could reveal how many patients, in contact with specialist mental health services, have been admitted to hospital for self-harm or have attended A&E. And from there you can start to assess whether they are receiving appropriate levels of care.

The consultation on the Lifestyles compendia reports has now closed. Please see the related link at the bottom of this page for more information. This statistical report presents a range of information on smoking which is drawn together from a variety of sources. The report aims to present a broad picture of health issues relating to smoking in England and covers topics such as smoking prevalence, habits, behaviours and attitudes among adults and school children, smoking-related ill health and mortality and smoking-related costs. This report contains data and information previously published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC), Department of Health, the Office for National Statistics and Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs. The report also includes new analyses carried out by the Health and Social Care Information Centre.

Disease prevalence and achievement/exception performance against key indicators for GP Practices as part of the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF).

Data is presented in CSV files for the 2013/14 year onwards. For previous years, data is available in summary tables from the links provided.

The Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) is the annual reward and incentive programme detailing GP practice achievement results.

QOF is a voluntary process for all surgeries in England and was introduced as part of the GP contract in 2004. It is reported in two formats; this publication, and the on-line search function (www.qof.hscic.gov.uk)

QOF awards surgeries achievement points for:

• managing some of the most common chronic diseases, e.g. asthma, diabetes
• implementing preventative measures, e.g. regular blood pressure checks
• the extra services offered such as child health care and maternity services
• the quality and productivity of the service, including the avoidance of emergency admissions to hospital
• compliance with the minimum time a GP should spend with each patient at each appointment

Achievement information is based on practice level achievement againsts primary care indicators. Prevalence figures are based on numbers of patients on GP clinical registers for specific conditions. Exceptions data presents information on numbers of patients with specific clinical conditions who are not included in QOF indicator data used to measure achievement. There are a number of criteria to determine exception reported patients.

All data are presented at GP practice, CCG, Area Team, Region and England

Prevalence registers included: Atrial Fibrillation (AF) Asthma (AST) Cancer (CAN) Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Cardiovascular Disease - Primary Prevention (CVDPP) Dementia (DEM) Depression (DEP) Diabetes (DM) Epilepsy (EP) Heart Failure (HF) Heart Failure due to LVD (HF) Hypertension (HYP) Learning Disabilities (LD) Mental Health (MH) Obesity (OB) Osteoporosis (OST) Peripheral Atrial Disease (PAD) Palliative Care (PC) Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Smoking Indicators (SMOK) Stroke (STIA) Thyroid (THY)

*Correction: In the Confidence Intervals subsection of Appendix A in this report (page 42) it is stated that weights have been used to calculate national, regional and council type estimates and confidence intervals. This is incorrect: no weighting has been applied in the calculation of these results. The HSCIC would like to apologise for this error and any inconvenience this may have caused. The 2014-15 edition of this report does use weights to calculate aggregate estimates and confidence intervals. Weighted 2012-13 aggregate data are provided with this report, which is at www.hscic.gov.uk/pubs/psscarersurvey1415 (available from 09:30 on 16 September 2015). *Users of these data should note that the report and annex tables were updated on 19 November 2014. This was done in order to correct a number of margin of error figures for ASCOF outcome 3B that had previously been incorrect, and to correct an omission in the list of councils that missed the ±5 percentage point margin of error requirement in the report. Users are advised to download these revised documents to ensure they have the best available data. The HSCIC would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused. This is a biennial survey, undertaken by councils in which carers' thoughts and opinions were sought on a number of topics that are considered to be indicative of a balanced life alongside their caring role. Carers completing the survey were all aged 18 or over, caring for someone aged 18 or over in receipt of services funded wholly or in part by Social Services during 2012-13. Findings from the survey are used to populate a number of measures in the Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework.

These are the results from the 2015 Patient-Led Assessments of the Care Environment (PLACE) programme. These self-assessments are undertaken by teams of NHS and private/independent health care providers, and include at least 50 per cent members of the public (known as patient assessors). They focus on the environment in which care is provided, as well as supporting non-clinical services such as cleanliness, food, hydration, and the extent to which the provision of care with privacy and dignity is supported. In 2015, for the first time the assessments considered aspects of the environment in relation to the provision of care to those with dementia. Note: The Site Scores and Base Scores tables published on August 11th contained an error relating to the score for Dementia in respect of Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust (Code TAH) Forest Close site (Code TAHXM). This hospital does not admit patients with dementia therefore the score shown should not have been included. The Site Scores and Base Scores tables have been amended to correct that error. No other data published on August 11th is affected. On 8th September 2016 the Organisational Excel and CSV files were replaced, the scores within them have been corrected.

This report details the investment in General Practice in the UK. The report draws on information obtained from country level financial monitoring reports discussed and agreed by the Technical Steering Committee (TSC), which is chaired by the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) and has representation from the UK Health Departments, NHS England, NHS Employers and the British Medical Association (BMA).

This statistical report presents a range of information on obesity, physical activity and diet, drawn together from a variety of sources.

Prevalence of underweight, healthy weight, overweight and obese children. The data covers children in Reception year (aged 4-5) and Year 6 (aged 10-11) There is the potential for error in the collection, collation and interpretation of the data (bias may be introduced due to poor response rates and selective opt out of larger children which it is not possible to control for). The National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) does not include children in the Independent sector, therefore, coverage of school children aged 4-5 is not complete. Data from The Health and Social Care Information Centre, Lifestyle Statistics / Department of Health Cross-Government Obesity Unit NCMP Dataset. 95% confidence intervals should be taken into account when making direct comparisons of two different prevalence figures. Where confidence intervals overlap, it is not possible to say that a difference is statistically significant. Local Authority mapping in this data has been based on school location. Since 2010/11 data by location of pupil residence is also available from the Information Centre website. Note in since the publication of the 2011/12 to 2013/14 dataset, the boundaries used at the new 2014 ward boundaries and the 2011 Middle Super Output Area (MSOA) boundaries. Before this it was pre-2014 ward boundaries and 2001 MSOA boundaries. Ward and MSOA level data can be downloaded from the National Obesity Observatory website and is also shown in the GLA ward profiles.
