More information
Activity data from NHS organisations to support planning and coordination of resources and services to support the COVID-19 response.
The data to be collected is information that is urgently required by the NHS to understand the demands COVID-19 is placing across the health care sector nationally. It is that information that does not already exist or must be collected in a more timely and efficient manner if it is to provide the insight needed to enable the NHS to coordinate resources and services appropriately.
The collective data collection is broken down across several distinct Situation Reports (SitReps). These reports cover different service settings and provider types but taken, as a whole, provide the information required by the NHS nationally, at this point in time. As the response to COVID-19 evolves the specific SitReps required will in response, expand or contract until such time as they are no longer required at all.
