      <title>Community Services Statistics, February 2026</title>
      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>This is a monthly report on publicly funded community services for people of all ages using data from the Community Services Data Set (CSDS) reported in England for February 2026. It has been developed to help achieve better outcomes and provide data that will be used to commission services in a way that improves health, reduces inequalities, and supports service improvement and clinical quality.These statistics are classified as experimental and should be used with caution. Experimental statistics are new official statistics undergoing evaluation. More information about experimental statistics can be found on the UK Statistics Authority website (linked at the bottom of this page).A provisional data file for March 2026 is now included in this publication. Please note this is intended as an early view until providers submit a refresh of their data, which will be published next month.</description>

      <title>Maternity Services Monthly Statistics, Final January 2026, Provisional February 2026, official statistics</title>
      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>This statistical release makes available the most recent monthly data on NHS-funded maternity services in England, using data submitted to the Maternity Services Data Set (MSDS).This is the latest report from version 2.0 of the data set, which has been in place since April 2019. This latest version was a significant change from the previous 1.5 version which added support for key policy initiatives such as continuity of carer, as well as increased flexibility through the introduction of new clinical coding. This was a major change, so data quality and coverage initially reduced from the levels seen in earlier publications. MSDS.v.2 data completeness improved over time, and we will continue to looking at ways of supporting further improvements.This publication also includes the National Maternity Dashboard, which can be accessed via the link below.Data derived from SNOMED codes is used in some measures such as those for birthweight, and others will follow in later publications. SNOMED data is also included in some of the published Clinical Quality Improvement Metrics (CQIMs), where rules have been applied to ensure measure rates are calculated only where data quality is high enough. System suppliers are at different stages of development and delivery to trusts. In some cases, this has limited the aspects of data that can be submitted in the MSDS.The percentages presented in this report are based on rounded figures and therefore may not total to 100%.</description>

      <title>[MI] GP Contract Services - England, 2025-26</title>
      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>The GP Contract Services publication provides data relating to the delivery of primary care services across England, agreed within the GP contract(s) between NHS England and the British Medical Association's (BMA) General Practitioners Committee (GPC). These data are primarily used for payment and management information purposes as well as for wider usage to help support commissioning, planning and policy decisions. Data for the following GP contract services will be added to this page throughout the 2025-26 reporting year, as the end date of each GP Contract Service varies:*6-in-1 vaccination programme  Childhood seasonal influenza programmeCore GP Contract*Hepatitis B (newborn babies) vaccination programme*Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programmeMeasles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccination programme*Meningococcal ACWY (MenACWY) vaccination programme*Meningococcal B (MenB) infants vaccination programmePCV Hib / Men C vaccination programme*Pertussis (pregnant women) vaccination programmePneumococcal polysaccharide vaccination programme**Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) – adults aged 75 and over**Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in pregnancy vaccination programme*Rotavirus (childhood routine immunisation) vaccination programmeSeasonal influenza vaccination programme**Shingles vaccination programme*These services are 3 year services running between 2025 and 2028. Data is however presented as a single 2025/26 financial year for consistency.** Data for most of the above services is available for the financial year running April 2025 to March 2026. These services run from September 2025 to August 2026 and therefore the full 12 months data is published later than the other services.The GP Contract Services data are collected by NHS England via the Calculating Quality Reporting Service (CQRS) and General Practice Extraction Service (GPES).Management information: These data have not undergone any quality checking nor has analysis of their coverage been made.</description>

      <title>Primary Care Dementia Data, March 2026</title>
      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>NHS England collect and publish data about people with dementia at each GP practice in England, to enable NHS GPs and commissioners to make informed choices about how to plan their dementia services around patients’ needs.The publication includes the rate of dementia diagnosis. As not everyone with dementia has a formal diagnosis, this statistic compares the number of people thought to have dementia with the number of people diagnosed with dementia, aged 65 and over. Where current monthly data for a GP practice is unavailable, the most recent data available are used (up to a maximum of 6 months).Prior to October 2022, dementia data were collected via the dementia data core contract service and published as the "Recorded Dementia Diagnoses" series. The data in these two publication series are not comparable. This is due to the retrospective application of codes to patient records and changes in patient registration, as well as differences in coverage and the specification of several counts.Refer to the ‘Related Links’ for the supporting information page where details on these changes can be found.</description>

      <title>Appointments in General Practice, March 2026</title>
      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>The aim of the publication is to inform users about activity and usage of GP appointments historically and how primary care is impacted by seasonal pressures, such as winter. NHS England publishes this information to support winter preparedness and provide information about some activity within primary care. The publication covers historic appointments, marked as attended or did not attend, from national to practice level coverage. The aim is to inform users, who range from a healthcare professional to an inquiring citizen, about appointments within primary care. The publication includes data from participating practices and Primary Care Networks (PCNs) using EMIS, TPP, Eva Health formerly known as Microtest (up until February 2021), Informatica (up until December 2024), Cegedim (previously Vision, up until January 2025), Babylon (up until December 2024), Medicus, and Evergreen Life GP systems. NHS England produce this information monthly, containing information about the most recent month and previous months. The publication includes important information, however it does not show the totality of GP activity/workload. The data presented only contains information which was captured on the GP practice and PCN appointment systems. This limits the activity reported on and does not represent all work happening within a primary care setting or assess the complexity of activity. No patient identifiable information has been collected or is included in this release. Between December 2020 and present the data contained in this publication will no longer contain covid-19 vaccination activity collected from GP System Suppliers as part of the General Practice Appointments Data. These appointments have been removed using the methodology outlined in the supporting information. In order to gain a more complete picture of general practice activity we will publish covid-19 vaccination activity carried out by PCN’s or GP Practice’s from the NIMS (National Immunisation Management Service) vaccination dataset. This publication now includes statistics on the duration of appointments, SDS role and the recorded national category, service setting and context type of the appointment. Both HCP Type and SDS role are currently presented for comparison purposes, but moving forward the intention is to only publish SDS Role Groups and remove HCP Type. Further information can be found in the supporting guidance below. Appointments recorded in Primary Care Network (PCN) appointment systems are included within this publication at national level from June 2023.</description>

      <title>Primary Care Workforce Recruited through the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS), 1 October 2024 – 31 March 2026&#xD;
[Management Information]</title>
      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>Additional funding of £82 million was announced in August 2024 to support the inclusion of recently qualified GPs in the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS) for 2024/25 with funding only available for GPs who had qualified within the last 2 years. As a result, the primary care network directed enhanced service (PCN DES) was amended for 2024/25 to expand the ARRS and reimburse the employment costs of these recently qualified GPs. PCNs have been able to access this funding since October 2024.The tables presented in this publication show the headcount of GPs recruited through the scheme at any time since 1 October 2024 along with monthly FTE values for the same period. All figures are based on claims submitted to the portal and approved by ICBs. Initial releases will focus solely on GPs recruited through the scheme and may be expanded to cover other staff groups in future releases.Due to unforeseen technical issues with the ARRS dataset which feeds this publication, we were unable to issue data for the month of February 2026. These issues have now been fully resolved and this months publication has been updated to feature data for February 2026 and March 2026. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.</description>

      <title>General Practice Workforce, 31 March 2026</title>
      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>The General Practice Workforce series of Official Statistics presents a snapshot of the primary care general practice workforce. A snapshot statistic relates to the situation at a specific date, which for these workforce statistics is now the last calendar day each month.This monthly snapshot reflects the general practice workforce at 31 March 2026. These statistics present full-time equivalent (FTE) and headcount figures by four staff groups, (GPs, Nurses, Direct Patient Care (DPC) and administrative staff), with breakdowns of individual job roles within these high-level groups.For the purposes of NHS workforce statistics, we define full-time working to be 37.5 hours per week. Full-time equivalent is a standardised measure of the workload of an employed person. Using FTE, we can convert part-time and additional working hours into an equivalent number of full-time staff. For example, an individual working 37.5 hours would be classed as 1.0 FTE while a colleague working 30 hours would be 0.8 FTE.The term “headcount” relates to distinct individuals, and as the same person may hold more than one role, care should be taken when interpreting headcount figures. Please refer to the Using this Publication section for information and guidance about the contents of this publication and how it can and cannot be used.England-level time series figures for all job roles are available in the Excel bulletin tables back to September 2015 when this series of Official Statistics began. The Excel file also includes Sub-ICB Location-level FTE and headcount breakdowns for the current reporting period. CSVs containing practice-level summaries and Sub-ICB Location-level counts of individuals are also available. Please refer to the Publication content, analysis, and release schedule in the Using this publication section for more details of what’s available.We are continually working to improve our publications to ensure their contents are as useful and relevant as possible for our users. We welcome feedback from all users to england.primarycareworkforce1@nhs.net.</description>

      <title>Statistics on people with a learning disability and autistic people in mental health hospitals, AT: March 2026, MHSDS: February 2026</title>
      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>Latest monthly statistics on people with a learning disability and autistic people in inpatient services from the Assuring Transformation (AT) collection and Mental Health Services Data Set (MHSDS).Data on inpatients with learning disabilities and/or autism are being collected both within the AT collection and MHSDS. There are differences in the inpatient figures between the AT and MHSDS data sets and work has been ongoing to better understand these. LDA data from MHSDS are experimental statistics, however, while impacts from the cyber incident are still present they will be considered to be management information.From April 2024, LDA MHSDS data has been collected under MHSDS version 6.From 1 July 2022, Integrated Care Boards were established within Integrated Care Systems and replaced Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs). Clinical Commissioning Groups have been replaced by sub-Integrated Care Boards. Data for the AT collection is now submitted by sub-Integrated Care Boards. This has resulted in some renaming within tables and the inclusion of a new Table 5.1b with a patient breakdown by submitting organisation. Patients by originating organisation and commissioning type are still available in Table 5.1a. Data in the tables are now presented by the current organisational structures. Old organisational structures have been mapped to new structures in any time series.</description>

      <title>Fit Notes Issued by GP Practices, England, December 2025</title>
      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>The Statement of Fitness for Work (the Med3 form or 'fit note') was introduced in April 2010 across England, Wales and Scotland. It enables healthcare professionals to give advice to their patients about the impact of their health condition on their fitness for work and is used to provide medical evidence for employers or to support a claim to health-related benefits through the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).A fit note is issued after the first seven days of sickness absence (when patients can self-certify) if the healthcare professional assesses that the patient’s health affects their fitness for work. The healthcare professional can decide the patient is 'not fit for work' or 'may be fit for work subject to the following advice...' with accompanying notes on suggested adjustments or adaptations to the job role or workplace.In 2012, DWP funded a project to provide general practice's with the ability to produce computer-generated fit notes (eMed3) and this included the capability to collect the aggregated data generated.Fit notes are issued to patients by doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and pharmacists following an assessment of their fitness for work. While they can be written by hand, most fit notes provided by general practice are now computer-generated.This quarterly statistical publication is produced by NHS England in collaboration with The Joint Work and Health Directorate, jointly sponsored by the Department for Work and Pensions and the Department of Health. It presents data on electronic fit notes issued in general practices in England for a given period.This is a ‘cumulative’ data collection. Weekly data collected will continue to be added to existing data. All data for all reporting periods is updated in each quarterly publication. From April 2019 all publications will contain data from practices who have TPP as their system supplier (which was not previously available), and accounts for one third of practices in England, consequently publications from this date may not be comparable to previous publications.All GP practices are mapped using current NHS geographies and recent changes may have resulted in a small number of practices not being mapped historically. These are shown as 'Unknown' but are included in the England total.NHS England will publish data on a quarterly basis in October, January, April and July.</description>

      <title>Primary Care Network Workforce, 31 March 2026</title>
      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>Primary Care Networks were created in July 2019 to provide accessible and integrated primary, mental health, and community care for patients. The bulk of the PCN workforce consists of Direct Patient Care staff, funded by the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS), and each PCN has the flexibility and autonomy to determine which roles are required to meet the specific needs of their local populations. Initially, recruitment focused on clinical pharmacists and social prescribing link workers, with more roles being included over subsequent years.Information about the PCN workforce is provided directly by each PCN and recorded in the National Workforce Reporting Service (NWRS), the same system used to collect information about the general practice workforce.This snapshot report includes England, Integrated Care Board (ICB), Sub-ICB Location and PCN-level figures for Clinical Directors, Direct Patient Care Workers and Admin/Non-Clinical staff working in PCNs on the last day of each calendar month.The level of detail in the information that we can collect about each individual varies, as there are different ways that individuals can be contracted to work for their PCN. Please read the Background Data Quality section for more information. The data were first published to a quarterly schedule beginning in March 2020. As both the proportion of PCNs submitting data to NWRS and data quality have improved, monthly publications began in January 2023.We are working continually to improve our publications and we welcome feedback from all users by email to: england.primarycareworkforce1@nhs.net.Links to other publications presenting healthcare workforce information can be found under Related Links.</description>

      <title>[MI] NHS Productivity Growth Estimates - December 2025</title>
      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>This publication contains the monthly NHS Productivity Growth Estimates for the period April 2025 to December 2025, which in financial terms is described as Month 9 year-to-date (YTD). It estimates the change, compared with the same period in the previous year, for the following: activity (cost‑weighted), resource use (in real terms), and productivity.The tables included in this publication present NHS Productivity Growth Estimates for all secondary care NHS trusts in England. These are calculated based on the methodology set out in the document published alongside the estimates.The latest estimates are labelled as “Provisional”, and an updated estimate will be published next month labelled “Provisional Revised”. Estimates labelled as “Final Revised” will be published for all months at the end of the financial year. This is necessary due to data being restated by trusts in-year.Several estimates include notes highlighting known or suspected data quality issues. Responsibility for the accuracy of data submitted to the national datasets used in these estimates lies with the NHS trusts providing the data; however, the use of these data for estimating NHS productivity is relatively novel. We therefore welcome feedback on the methodology and are keen to engage directly with trusts to identify and resolve any known data issues.</description>

      <title>National Obesity Audit, October 2025 - December 2025 [Management Information]</title>
      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>This National Obesity Audit (NOA) publication presents a series of developing measures related to weight management services (WMS) in England. It aims to bring together existing comparable data from the different types of adult and children’s WMS across England in order to drive improvement for the benefit of those living with overweight and obesity.This publication includes data on NHS funded bariatric surgery from Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) and WMS metrics from the Community Services Data Set (CSDS).The National Obesity Audit is part of the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme (NCAPOP). Disruption relating to the coronavirus illness (COVID-19) would seem to have affected the quality and coverage of some of our statistics, therefore, data should be interpreted with care over the COVID-19 period.</description>

      <description>The learning disabilities health check scheme is designed to encourage practices to identify all patients aged 14 and over with learning disabilities, to maintain a learning disabilities 'health check' register and offer them an annual health check, which will include producing a health action plan.The learning disabilities health check scheme is one of a number of GP enhanced services. Enhanced services are voluntary reward programmes that cover primary medical services; one of their main aims is to reduce the burden on secondary care services. Data for other enhanced services are published annually, the latest release of these data is available under related links below.</description>

      <title>National Diabetes Audit (NDA) 2025-26 quarterly report for England, Integrated Care Board (ICB), Primary Care Network (PCN) and GP practice</title>
      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>The worksheets include data for all ICBs and GP practices in England within the February 2026 extraction of NDA data (April to December 2025 data). These data undergo further validation processes at the end of each audit year when data from specialist services are added in, at which point the data are considered to comprise the full annual dataset to be used in the annual NDA publications.Data for Local Health Boards (LHBs) in Wales and specialist diabetes services in England are not included in the quarterly publications. Their 2025-26 data (for the full audit period April 2025 to March 2026) will be extracted as part of the final NDA 2025-26 collection and reported in the NDA 2025-26 full audit period data release, scheduled for late 2026.Disclosure control has been applied to mitigate the risk of patient identification. Zeros are reported, and all numbers are rounded to the nearest 5, unless the number is 1 to 7, in which case it is rounded to ‘5’. This allows for more granular data to be made available, and also for data for all GP practices to be made available. Percentages where the denominator is less than or equal to 20 are not reliable and have therefore not been calculated in this release.We are aware that some pathology laboratories have been affected by HbA1c analyser issues in 2024/25. These may have resulted in higher HbA1c results than would otherwise have been expected.NHS England are currently reviewing the routine production of NDA State of the Nation reports. Please note that data will still be released via dashboards and standalone data files whilst this review is being conducted.To help inform this review we would be grateful if users can provide feedback on their use of the State of the Nation reports using the feedback survey available in the ‘Related links' section of this page.</description>

      <title>Diabetes Prevention Programme: Non-Diabetic Hyperglycaemia, April 2025 to December 2025</title>
      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>The NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (DPP) is a joint commitment from NHS England and Diabetes UK to deliver, at scale, evidence based behavioural interventions that can prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes in adults who have been identified as having non-diabetic hyperglycaemia (NDH).This report presents the national audit findings, summarising registration and demographic information on people registered in GP Practices in England who have non-diabetic hyperglycaemia. Also presented are the numbers of people recorded in GP practices as having been offered DPP behavioural change courses up to the end of December 2025, and the numbers that have declined, or not declined, to attend these courses. Non-diabetic hyperglycaemia involves blood glucose levels that are above normal levels, but not in the diabetic range.This release includes data for Detained Estates. Detained Estates include prisons, young offender institutes, children's homes and immigration removal centres.The report is for England only.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please note, the NDH dashboard is no longer being updated and was removed from the NDA dashboard hub on 31 August 2025.NHS England are currently reviewing the routine production of NDA State of the Nation reports (including NDH). Please note that NDH data will still be released via standalone data files whilst this review is being conducted.To help inform this review we would be grateful if users can provide feedback on their use of the State of the Nation reports using the feedback survey available in the ‘Related links' section of this page.</description>

      <title>Summary Hospital-level Mortality Indicator (SHMI), Deaths associated with hospitalisation, England, December 2024 - November 2025</title>
      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>This publication of the SHMI relates to discharges in the reporting period December 2024 - November 2025.The SHMI is the ratio between the actual number of patients who die following hospitalisation at the trust and the number that would be expected to die on the basis of average England figures, given the characteristics of the patients treated there. The SHMI covers patients admitted to hospitals in England who died either while in hospital or within 30 days of being discharged.To help users of the data understand the SHMI, trusts have been categorised into bandings indicating whether a trust's SHMI is 'higher than expected', 'as expected' or 'lower than expected'. For any given number of expected deaths, a range of observed deaths is considered to be 'as expected'. If the observed number of deaths falls outside of this range, the trust in question is considered to have a higher or lower SHMI than expected. The expected number of deaths is a statistical construct and is not a count of patients. The difference between the number of observed deaths and the number of expected deaths cannot be interpreted as the number of avoidable deaths or excess deaths for the trust.The SHMI is not a measure of quality of care. A higher than expected number of deaths should not immediately be interpreted as indicating poor performance and instead should be viewed as a 'smoke alarm' which requires further investigation. Similarly, an 'as expected' or 'lower than expected' SHMI should not immediately be interpreted as indicating satisfactory or good performance.Trusts may be located at multiple sites and may be responsible for 1 or more hospitals. A breakdown of the data by site of treatment is also provided, as well as a breakdown of the data by diagnosis group.Further background information and supporting documents, including information on how to interpret the SHMI, are available on the SHMI homepage (see Related Links).</description>

      <title>Cancer Survival in England, cancers diagnosed 2018 to 2022, followed up to 2023</title>
      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>This release summarises the survival of adults aged 15 to 99 years diagnosed with cancer in England between 2018 and 2022 with follow-up to the end of 2023.Adult cancer survival estimates are presented by cancer group, age at diagnosis, deprivation, gender, stage at diagnosis, hormone receptor status (Breast only), and health geography.  The estimates presented below and in the main report are age-standardised net survival. Some of the net survival estimates are over 100%. This means fewer people are dying than would be expected in the general population. </description>

      <title>Access to crisis care via NHS 111 - Mental Health, February 2026</title>
      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>This publication introduces a newly established data collection for demand and call handling data items related to accessing crisis care via the NHS111 'select MH option'. This data will provide important insights into how accessible the crisis care system is helping to identify any gaps or inefficiencies. Additionally, the data will be used to support demand and capacity planning across services enabling better resource allocation and service provision. Benchmarking data will also be made available allowing providers to compare their performance and identify areas for improvement. This information will be invaluable for both operational decision making and strategic planning across the crisis care system.BackgroundThe NHS Long Term Plan (2019) committed to ensuring that people of all ages can access mental health crisis support 24/7 through a single, simple point of access. During the pandemic, every area established locally run urgent mental health helplines and in April 2024 this ambition was achieved nationally with the launch of 111 ‘select mental health option’, connecting all local services into a consistent national model.When a caller selects the mental health option their call is routed directly to the local crisis mental health service for their area using interactive voice response (IVR) technology without the need for an additional NHS 111 assessment. This provides faster access and no wrong door approach for anyone in crisis.Urgent mental health helplines accessible via 111 are commissioned locally and delivered through a mix of NHS trusts, voluntary and community sector partners and in places independent providers. Services differ in scale and maturity, and work is ongoing nationally to improve consistency and data quality.Currently, 111 ‘select mental health option’ data collection focuses on phone call-based activity as helplines operate differently to NHS 111 physical health services. Referral based activity data for mental health crisis services are instead reported through the Mental Health Services Data Set (MHSDS) with NHS England working with systems and providers to strengthen reporting and ensure it reflects the unique nature of crisis care.</description>

      <title>[MI] Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) in England, Final 2024/25 data</title>
      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>Patients undergoing elective inpatient surgery for hip and knee replacement, funded by the English NHS are asked to complete questionnaires before and after their operations to assess improvement in health as perceived by the patients themselves. This publication is for Finalised Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) in England - April 2024 to March 2025.Over the past year, we have investigated a variety of challenges with the way the data are processed on complex legacy systems. In January 2026, we proposed that given the processing challenges and relatively low response rates, that the next data, relating to final 2024/25 was released as management information, rather than as an official statistic. We continue to investigate the issues and have included some information in this report. While this work is underway, we suggest that the findings are treated with caution. In analysing outcomes driven by the difference in pre-operative and post-operative questionnaires, please note that some data breakdowns or analyses are dependent on questionnaire pairs being linked to operations in Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) while others are not. In addition, the report presents both adjusted and non-adjusted figures and this should be borne in mind when summarising any findings. There may also be some disparities in the way figures are calculated across products.A small number of independent sector provider site codes use a five-character ‘ANANA’ format. Due to a truncation issue in the PROMs processing system, these codes are shortened to their first three characters in part of the post-processing. As a result, in some CSV products – particularly the Participation and Linkage file and some provider and sub-ICB breakdowns – these sites may appear as ‘unknown’ or may not be labelled correctly. The underlying PROMs records for these patients remain included in the national, sub-ICB and casemix-adjusted figures. The issue only affects how a small number of provider or site rows are labelled in certain CSV outputs.
At the time of publication this affected the following independent sector hospital sites:
Sulis Hospital Bath (Foxcote Avenue) – G3Z1Q 
(may appear under truncated codes such as G3Z or B3W)
Nuffield Health Parkside Hospital – R0F4N (appears as R0F)
Nuffield Health at St Bartholomew’s Hospital – U9C3Y (appears as U9C)
Claremont Private Hospital – B3M1X (appears as B3M)
Nuffield Health The Holly Hospital – H4I8B (appears as H4I)
Practice Plus Group Hospital, Birmingham – M2Y6D (appears as M2Y)
Fairfield Independent Hospital – Y9S1N (appears as Y9S)This report contains data for providers for whom questionnaires are submitted via the supplier Open Medical. Such data may have been excluded from recent reports.*** Update 9/4/26: Tab 8 of the Power BI dashboard was updated on 9 April 26 to include data for 2024/25</description>

      <title>[MI] Rapid Cancer Registration Data</title>
      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>Rapid Cancer Registration Data (RCRD) provides a quick, indicative source of cancer data. It is provided to support the planning and provision of cancer services. The data is based on a rapid processing of cancer registration data sources, in particular on Cancer Outcomes and Services Dataset (COSD) information. In comparison, National Cancer Registration Data (NCRD) relies on additional data sources, enhanced follow-up with trusts and expert processing by cancer registration officers. The Rapid Cancer Registration Data (RCRD) may be useful for service improvement projects including healthcare planning and prioritisation. However, it is poorly suited for epidemiological research due to limitations in the data quality and completeness.</description>

      <title>Primary Care Network Workforce, 28 February 2026</title>
      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>Primary Care Networks were created in July 2019 to provide accessible and integrated primary, mental health, and community care for patients. The bulk of the PCN workforce consists of Direct Patient Care staff, funded by the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS), and each PCN has the flexibility and autonomy to determine which roles are required to meet the specific needs of their local populations. Initially, recruitment focused on clinical pharmacists and social prescribing link workers, with more roles being included over subsequent years.Information about the PCN workforce is provided directly by each PCN and recorded in the National Workforce Reporting Service (NWRS), the same system used to collect information about the general practice workforce.This snapshot report includes England, Integrated Care Board (ICB), Sub-ICB Location and PCN-level figures for Clinical Directors, Direct Patient Care Workers and Admin/Non-Clinical staff working in PCNs on the last day of each calendar month.The level of detail in the information that we can collect about each individual varies, as there are different ways that individuals can be contracted to work for their PCN. Please read the Background Data Quality section for more information. The data were first published to a quarterly schedule beginning in March 2020. As both the proportion of PCNs submitting data to NWRS and data quality have improved, monthly publications began in January 2023.We are working continually to improve our publications and we welcome feedback from all users by email to: england.primarycareworkforce1@nhs.net.Links to other publications presenting healthcare workforce information can be found under Related Links.</description>

      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>NHS Payments to General Practice, England 2024/25 provides information on NHS payments to individual providers of general practice services in England. Figures are given for the main payment categories - which include Global Sum, Balance of PMS expenditure, Quality Outcomes Framework (QOF) and Local Incentive Schemes.It is not a record of the amount of money available for direct patient care, nor the total invested in patient care through general practice. Instead, it constitutes the majority of actual monies paid to practices for all activities and costs during the 2024/25 financial year.The pandemic affected the way General Practice operated from 2020/21 and placed additional responsibilities on GP practices for which they received additional payments. From 2020/21 the report includes three additional categories for COVID-19 related payments, COVID-19 Support and Expansion, COVID-19 Immunisation and Long Covid.</description>

      <title>Appointments in General Practice, February 2026</title>
      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>The aim of the publication is to inform users about activity and usage of GP appointments historically and how primary care is impacted by seasonal pressures, such as winter. NHS England publishes this information to support winter preparedness and provide information about some activity within primary care. The publication covers historic appointments, marked as attended or did not attend, from national to practice level coverage. The aim is to inform users, who range from a healthcare professional to an inquiring citizen, about appointments within primary care. The publication includes data from participating practices and Primary Care Networks (PCNs) using EMIS, TPP, Eva Health formerly known as Microtest (up until February 2021), Informatica (up until December 2024), Cegedim (previously Vision, up until January 2025), Babylon (up until December 2024), Medicus, and Evergreen Life GP systems. NHS England produce this information monthly, containing information about the most recent month and previous months. The publication includes important information, however it does not show the totality of GP activity/workload. The data presented only contains information which was captured on the GP practice and PCN appointment systems. This limits the activity reported on and does not represent all work happening within a primary care setting or assess the complexity of activity. No patient identifiable information has been collected or is included in this release. Between December 2020 and present the data contained in this publication will no longer contain covid-19 vaccination activity collected from GP System Suppliers as part of the General Practice Appointments Data. These appointments have been removed using the methodology outlined in the supporting information. In order to gain a more complete picture of general practice activity we will publish covid-19 vaccination activity carried out by PCN’s or GP Practice’s from the NIMS (National Immunisation Management Service) vaccination dataset. This publication now includes statistics on the duration of appointments, SDS role and the recorded national category, service setting and context type of the appointment. Both HCP Type and SDS role are currently presented for comparison purposes, but moving forward the intention is to only publish SDS Role Groups and remove HCP Type. Further information can be found in the supporting guidance below. Appointments recorded in Primary Care Network (PCN) appointment systems are included within this publication at national level from June 2023.</description>

      <title>General Practice Workforce, 28 February 2026</title>
      <author>enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk (NHS Digital)</author>
      <description>The General Practice Workforce series of Official Statistics presents a snapshot of the primary care general practice workforce. A snapshot statistic relates to the situation at a specific date, which for these workforce statistics is now the last calendar day each month.This monthly snapshot reflects the general practice workforce at 28 February 2026. These statistics present full-time equivalent (FTE) and headcount figures by four staff groups, (GPs, Nurses, Direct Patient Care (DPC) and administrative staff), with breakdowns of individual job roles within these high-level groups.For the purposes of NHS workforce statistics, we define full-time working to be 37.5 hours per week. Full-time equivalent is a standardised measure of the workload of an employed person. Using FTE, we can convert part-time and additional working hours into an equivalent number of full-time staff. For example, an individual working 37.5 hours would be classed as 1.0 FTE while a colleague working 30 hours would be 0.8 FTE.The term “headcount” relates to distinct individuals, and as the same person may hold more than one role, care should be taken when interpreting headcount figures. Please refer to the Using this Publication section for information and guidance about the contents of this publication and how it can and cannot be used.England-level time series figures for all job roles are available in the Excel bulletin tables back to September 2015 when this series of Official Statistics began. The Excel file also includes Sub-ICB Location-level FTE and headcount breakdowns for the current reporting period. CSVs containing practice-level summaries and Sub-ICB Location-level counts of individuals are also available. Please refer to the Publication content, analysis, and release schedule in the Using this publication section for more details of what’s available.We are continually working to improve our publications to ensure their contents are as useful and relevant as possible for our users. We welcome feedback from all users to england.primarycareworkforce1@nhs.net.</description>
