If a CQC inspection identifies instances of non-compliance with the HSCA and Regulations then appropriate regulatory action will be taken. The CQC's <em>Essential Standards of quality and safety</em> require that women undergoing termination of pregnancy know that “they are able to discuss their choices and decisions with a trained counsellor” and “where services are provided to children or people with a learning disability, the counsellor available has relevant experience in discussing termination of pregnancy with them”. For other forms of counselling which are registered activities under the 2008 Act and regulations, CQC takes a similar approach to judgement and action.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 14/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

Hospital Provider:</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>A provider code is a unique code that identifies an organisation acting as a health care provider (eg NHS trust or primary care trust). Data from some independent sector providers, where the onus for arrangement of dataflows is on the commissioner, may be missing. Care must be taken when using this data as the counts may be lower than true figures.</p><p>3. Assessing growth through time (A&amp;E):</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HES figures are available from 2007-08 onwards. Changes to the figures over time need to be interpreted in the context of improvements in data quality and coverage and changes in National Health Service practice. For example, changes in activity may be due to changes in the provision of care.</p><p>4. Provisional data 2013-14:</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>The data is provisional and may be incomplete or contain errors for which no adjustments have yet been made. Counts produced from provisional data are likely to be lower than those generated for the same period in the final dataset. This shortfall will be most pronounced in the final month of the latest period, ie November from the (month 9) April to November extract. It is also probable that clinical data are not complete, which may in particular affect the last two months of any given period. There may also be errors due to coding inconsistencies that have not yet been investigated and corrected.</p><p>5. Official source of A&amp;E activity data:</p><p>HES is not the official source of total A&amp;E activity, this is the NHS England situation reports collection - http://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/ae-waiting-times-and-activity/ <br>However, HES permits further analysis of A&amp;E activity as there are a range of data items by which HES can be analysed. NHS England situation reports do not collect data by age range.</p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 14/07/2014 15:15:34 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
