HES is not the official source of total A&E activity, this is the NHS England situation reports collection:<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> http://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/ae-waiting-times-and-activity/<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> However, HES permits further analysis of A&E activity as there are a range of data items by which HES can be analysed.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> 2. 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> <\/p> <\/p> 3. 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, i.e. 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> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> 4. Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) are compiled from data sent by more than 300 NHS trusts and primary care trusts (PCTs) in England and from some independent sector organisations for activity commissioned by the English NHS. Health and Social Care Information Centre liaises closely with these organisations to encourage submission of complete and valid data and seeks to minimise inaccuracies. While this brings about improvement over time, some shortcomings remain.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}

It sets out the support that will be provided to all care leavers in relation to staying in education, finding accommodation, accessing benefits, experiencing good physical and mental health and finding work. [1]<\/p> <\/p> The Department for Education will publish shortly a report on the progress we have made against the commitments set out in the strategy. This builds on a significant programme of work to improve support for care leavers, which has resulted in important changes such as the development of the Care Leaver Charter and the introduction of Junior ISAs for all children in care.<\/p> <\/p> As part of our continuing work to improve care leavers\u2019 outcomes, the Department introduced a new duty on local authorities to support \u2018staying put\u2019 arrangements and have provided funding for local authorities to support this. For the first time, this will provide for children in foster placements to receive support to remain with their foster family until age 21, where this is what both parties want.<\/p> <\/p> Similar arrangements do not currently apply to children in residential care. Further work is needed before introducing a legal duty on local authorities that would require them to extend staying put arrangements to all young people leaving residential care. We are consequently working with the sector to better understand what would be involved and have supported work through the Department\u2019s Children\u2019s Services Innovation Programme to identify how staying put arrangements might work for children in residential care.<\/p> <\/p> We will continue to drive innovation in provision for care leavers, for example through funding projects like \u2018New Belongings\u2019, which has enabled 9 local authorities to develop a range of new and innovative approaches to supporting care leavers.<\/p> <\/p>
