Description

In 2009 G8 Leaders made a public commitment to monitor their progress on the promises they have made on development. Since the Muskoka G8 summit in 2010 they have published an annual Accountability Report. This year’s report has been published ahead of the Lough Erne Summit, as a concrete demonstration of transparency and accountability that will be key themes of the Summit. The report covers over 60 development commitments made over the past 11 years covering nine key development challenges: Aid and Aid Effectiveness, Economic Development, Health, Water and Sanitation, Food Security, Education, Governance, Peace and Security, and Environment and Energy. These have been self-assessed using an innovative scorecard approach using a 5 point Red-Amber-Green rating in an effort to make the report more accessible and to track progress against the promises in a more transparent way. The assessments use a combination of publically available, independently verifiable data and G8 members self-assessments for some of the more qualitative commitments. The Lough Erne Accountability report reflects the G8’s own assessment of its progress on development promises. In the spirit of mutual accountability and to foster continuing improvement we asked a number of key stakeholder organisations to comment on the report. We are grateful to the UN Economic Commission for Africa and the Overseas Development Institute for taking time to review the report. Their views are available here. We welcome these and hope they will help stimulate further debate about G8 accountability. We undertake to take these views into consideration and feed them into the G8 accountability process under future Presidencies. These are csv files of the data behind the tables included in the report.

This release covers offences involving metal theft recorded by police in England and Wales. Metal theft is not a crime defined by law, but is recorded by police under broader offence classifications, such as other theft offences and burglary. It refers to thefts of items for the value of their constituent metals, rather than the acquisition of the item. This release, where possible, differentiates between infrastructure-related metal theft and non-infrastructure-related metal theft.

Description

The outcome of hip fracture serves as a key marker of the quality of hospital care across the many disciplines and departments who collaborate before, during and after this operation. However, the immediate physiological stress experienced by these patients is the pain and blood loss associated with the fracture. High quality anaesthetic care is crucial to the effective management of both stresses. Clinicians interested in promoting better anaesthetic management of patients with hip fracture came together in 2007. The Hip Fracture Perioperative Network (HipPeN) grew from this, and produced a report in 2010 highlighting wide variations in anaesthetic practice. HipPeN has since completed several projects – leading to publication of the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland (AAGB&I) guidelines on the anaesthetic management of hip fracture in 2012. The National Hip Fracture Database (NHFD) is the largest hip fracture database in the world. The database includes surgical and mortality data on a third of a million patients. It captures 95% of all new cases of hip fracture, with data from all hospitals in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands, and provides an ideal infrastructure for large audits. Public funding was provided through the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP); the NHFD has now been incorporated into the Falls and Fragility Fracture Audit Programme (FFFAP) administered by the Royal College of Physicians (RCP). Collaboration between the AAGB&I and the NHFD culminated in this 2014 report which profiles approaches to peri-operative care across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. ASAP set out to collect data on everyone over the age of 60 who had hip fracture surgery in hospitals across England, Wales and Northern Ireland between 1st May and 31st July 2013. The aim of ASAP was to profile individual hospitals’ compliance with the standards for peri-operative care defined by the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in 2011, and the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland (AAGB&I) in 2012. The audit covers England, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands, however data files only refer to data for England.

This dataset shows individual trust- and unit-level activity and outcomes for hip and knee replacement surgery in 2012 for the NHS and private sector. It has been reproduced from the full NJR 10th Annual Report 2013 and covers the specific period January to December 2012. The data published on this page only applies to England. The National Joint Registry of England, Wales and Northern Ireland (NI) publishes data from all territories, where achievable, as part of annual reporting process. The full NJR 10th Annual Report includes 2012 results for Welsh Health Boards (NI joined in Feb 2013). The data shows information relating to how individual trusts and hospitals in England have performed against a range of key measures including whether they have been identified as an ‘outlier’ for mortality and revision rates. Key measures: Hospitals have been awarded a green (≥95%), amber (≥80%) or red (>80%) rating to reflect how well they performed in 2011 based on consent, compliance and linkability. Compliance information is published at trust-level. All other information is published by individual hospital in the NHS and private sector. Outlier analysis: Outlier analysis aims to identify ‘unusual differences’ in data from ‘normal variations’ which may indicate the need for further investigation. For mortality and revision rates, an outlier will be a hospital with an unusually high proportion – more than would normally be expected. Outliers are identified by a 'Y.' The NJR has also listed the following information for each hospital: • Number of consultants • Average ASA grade • Percentage of male patients • Average age at operation • Percentage of 10A rated acetabular hip and femoral hip implants

Making clinical audit data transparent In his transparency and open data letter to Cabinet Ministers on 7 July 2011, the Prime Minister restated the commitment to make clinical audit data available from the national audits within the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme. The National Lung Cancer Audit (NLCA) was identified as the pilot for this data release. The data was released in an open and standardised format for the first time in December 2011, and each year onward, data from the National Lung Cancer Audit will be made available in CSV format. The data are also being made available on the data.gov website. Covering all Cancer Networks and NHS Trusts in England, the data from the audit includes information about data completeness, audit process and outcome measures. The data will be available in a pdf format with the National Lung Cancer Audit 2012 annual report. What information is being made available? Measures about the process of care given to patients Information about care outcomes and treatment. The data also provides Audit participation by Trust and data completeness for the key fields. This data does not list data about individual patients nor does it contain any patient identifiable data. Using and interpreting the data Data from the National Lung Cancer Audit requires careful interpretation, and the information should not be looked at in isolation when assessing standards of care. Data is analysed either by cancer network or by place first seen in secondary care for the calendar year 2012. As a result, some trusts that only provide some specialist treatments for patients and do not routinely supply diagnostic data are not properly represented in these data. This is because all the analyses of the NLCA to date have been carried out by 'place first seen' and cancer networks. The ‘place first seen' most closely represents the Clinical Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) which makes the first treatment decisions (in partnership with representatives from the specialist centres who sit on these peripheral MDTs). We largely know the population base for these MDTs and that number provides the ‘denominator' for the outcome measures. It is much more difficult to define a population denominator for specialist centres and the treatment they provide is usually only one part of a complex care pathway. So taking the raw data at face value gives a very distorted picture both of their activity and performance. Accessing the data The data are being made available on the data.gov website. Each year two files of data from the National Lung Cancer Audit will be made available in CSV format. Trusts and Networks are identified by name and their national code. What does the data cover? The data measure levels of completeness for data submitted to the NLCA and measures of performance in the audit at trust level for key performance measures for assessing standards of care for lung cancer in secondary care. Details of these standards can be found in appendix 2 of the NLCA report. Are all Trusts included? All Trusts in England that manage patients diagnosed with lung cancer (excluding mesothelioma) are included. The audit also covers Wales. What period does the data cover? This data were extracted from the NLCA database in July 2013 and covers patients first seen in the calendar year 2012.

Using and interpreting the data Data from the National Lung Cancer Audit requires careful interpretation, and the information should not be looked at in isolation when assessing standards of care. Data are provided either by cancer network or by place first seen in secondary care for the calendar year 2010. As a result, some trusts that only provide some specialist treatments for patients and do not supply diagnostic data are not properly represented in these data. This is because all the analyses of the NLCA to date have been carried out by 'place first seen' and cancer networks. The ‘place first seen' is the Clinical Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) which makes the first treatment decisions (in partnership with representatives from the specialist centres who sit on these peripheral MDTs).

It is much more difficult to define a population denominator for specialist centres and the treatment they provide is usually only one part of a complex care pathway.
