<p>We are not aware of official assessments made in relation to merits of publishing
hospital level NHS performance data. However, our Department is committed to transparency
and quality of health data in the public domain and makes a frequent assessment of
trust level data availability, though recognises the need to balance quality, public
value, disclosure and sensitivity of publishing more granular data in line with the
Code of Practice for Statistics.</p><p>Hospital Episode Statistics data is also published
containing details about admissions, accident and emergency attendances and outpatient
appointments at National Health Service hospitals in England. This is available at
