Description
The transfer of Public Health from the NHS to local government and Public Health England (PHE) in April 2013 was one of the most significant extensions of local government powers and duties in a generation. It represents a unique opportunity to change the focus from treating sickness to actively promoting health and wellbeing.
Single and upper-tier local authorities will be responsible for a wide range of local public health and health improvement services and will receive a ring-fenced public health budget to meet their new duty. To support the mandatory duties and to support the delivery of local priorities, access to and the management of primary and secondary care data is required which is fully compliant with NHS Information Governance and Caldicott principles.
This service will cover two core areas. Firstly, routine data extraction and ad-hoc data extraction from GP clinical systems to allow audit and monitoring of public health commissioned services. Second, access to GP clinical systems and local secondary health care data (for example, A&E and hospital admissions data) to allow analysis and reporting by public health epidemiologists.
The primary commissioned service which this contract will support is the delivery of NHS Health Checks, although additional services delivered in general practice may also be covered including alcohol, drugs, smoking cessation, weight management, physical activity and sexual health.
Primary and secondary data access is also required from a number of sources which the Provider must be able to provide access directly to or via arrangements with third parties (such as the accredited Data Services for Commissioners Regional Office (DSCRO) status organisation for the West Midlands
