Who we are and what we do

Data Controller: NHS Humber & North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board
Address: Health House, Grange Park Lane, Willerby, HU10 6DT
Data Protection Officer (DPO): Name: Michael Napier
DPO Contact Details: Email: hnyicb-ery.ig@nhs.net

NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (HNY ICB) is responsible for planning and designing local health services across the local area. We do this by ‘commissioning’ or buying health and care services including:

Planned hospital care;
Unplanned care (urgent care);
Rehabilitation care;
Community health services;
Mental health and learning disability services; and
Primary care services.

We are also responsible for arranging health care for any unregistered patients who live in the locality.

We monitor the performance of services that we commission to make sure that they are safe, provide high quality care, meet the needs of local people and provide value for money. Part of this performance monitoring role includes responding to any concerns from our patients about these services.

How we use your personal information

The purpose of this notice is to inform you of the type of information (including personal information) that the ICB holds as a Data Controller, how that information is used and the legal basis for doing so, who we may share that information with and how we keep it secure and confidential.
It covers information we collect directly from you or collect indirectly from other individuals or organisations for the ICB’s registered population.
This notice applies to all information held by the ICB relating to individuals, whether you are a patient, service user or a member of staff. This notice was last reviewed in July 2023.

Types of information we hold

We may use information about you as part of our statutory responsibility to commission health services for the people in the region. To do so we use data in various forms but we will only use the minimum amount of information necessary for that purpose, including the utilisation of data that does not identify you wherever possible.

The ICB uses and processes several different types of information, click on the links below for more information:

Identifiable – information which contains personal details that identify individuals such as name, address, email address, NHS Number, full postcode, date of birth.
Pseudonymised – individual level information where individuals can be distinguished by using a coded reference, which does not reveal their ‘real world’ identity.
Anonymised – data which is about you but from which you cannot be personally identified.
Aggregated – grouped information about individuals that has been combined to show general trends or values without identifying individuals.

Throughout this Notice you will see reference to an organisation called NHS Digital. They are the national provider of information, data and IT systems for commissioners, analysts and clinicians in health and social care. NHS Digital provides information based on identifiable data passed securely to them by primary and secondary care providers who are legally obliged to provide this information.

Our records may be held on paper or in a computer system.

Details of information used for specific purposes

Use of Anonymised Data

We use anonymised data to plan health care services including:

Checking the quality and efficiency of the health services we commission;
Preparing performance reports on the services we commission;
Working out likely trends in illnesses in the future, so we can plan and prioritise services and ensure these continue to meet the needs of local patients; and,
Reviewing the care being provided to make sure it is of the highest standard.

Use of Pseudonymised (De-identified) Information

We use de-identified information in our role as commissioner including:

Commissioning– to plan, design, purchase and pay for the best possible care available to local patients ; look at the care provided by different providers across our area to make sure that together they support the needs of the local population; performance manage contracts; to prepare statistics on NHS performance to understand health needs and support service redesign, modernisation and improvement; to help us plan future services to ensure they continue to meet our local population’s needs.
Risk Stratification– to identify groups of patients who would benefit from some additional help from their GP or care team. The aim is to prevent ill health and possible future hospital stays, rather than wait for you to become sick. Only de-identified information is accessible to the ICB in order to help us plan the most appropriate health services for our population.

Use of Personal and Sensitive (Identifiable) Information

As an ICB we do not routinely hold medical records or confidential patient data with some limited exceptions.

There are some categories of personal data for which special safeguards are required by law, known as special category or sensitive data. This includes records relating to health, sex life, race, ethnicity, political opinions, trade union membership, religion, genetics and biometrics.

The following list includes examples of where we collect and use personal information. Please click on each of the following examples for information on the purpose, the type of information used, the legal basis identified for the collection and use of the information, how we collect and use the information required, any third parties we may share the information with and your rights regarding the use of the information including, where relevant, your right to opt-out.

Recording of Meetings

Please be aware that meetings may be recorded as an administrative tool for the purpose of supporting the provision of clear and accurate minutes. Where recordings are to be made attendees will be notified that a recording is taking place. Recording for administrative purposes are only retained for the period of drafting minutes and then subsequently deleted from all ICB systems.

ICB public meetings are live streamed with the details for each published at https://humberandnorthyorkshire.icb.nhs.uk/meetings-and-papers/. These are held and made available as part of our statutory requirements relating to transparency.

Sharing Information with Health and Care organisations

Information Sharing Agreements and contracts will be in place ensuring that where we share information, this meets both the requirements of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 and the current data protection legislation ensuring that your confidentiality and rights are not breached.

The ICB is actively working with health and social care partners to ensure that where you receive a referral, for example for community services, all the relevant information that organisation requires is available in order to offer you the right service. We are also working with the hospitals that provide services to our population to ensure that should you find yourself in an emergency situation the hospital clinicians would have access to relevant and potentially lifesaving information from your GP record, such as test results tests and any allergies you may suffer from.

Whenever a new arrangement is made to share information externally, both with health and social care organisations and with third party suppliers, we will ensure that a legal basis has been identified, using a tool called a Data Protection Impact Assessment, which will highlight any risks to your information and ensure they are resolved before any sharing takes place.

Our Commitment to Data Privacy and Confidentiality

We are committed to protecting your privacy and will only process personal confidential data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation, the Data Protection Act 2018, the Common Law Duty of Confidentiality, Professional Codes of Practice and the Human Rights Act 1998.

In the circumstances where we are required to use personal identifiable information we will only do this if:

The information is necessary for your direct healthcare; or,
We have received explicit consent from you to use your information for a specific purpose; or,
There is an overriding public interest in using the information:
- In order to safeguard an individual;
- To prevent a serious crime or in the case of Public Health or other emergencies, to protect the health and safety of others; or,
There is a legal requirement that allows or compels us to use or provide information (e.g. a formal court order or legislation); or,
We have permission from the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to use certain confidential patient identifiable information when it is necessary for our work.

Everyone working for the NHS has a legal and contractual duty to keep information about you confidential.

All identifiable information that we hold about you will be held securely and confidentially. We use administrative and technical controls to do this. All health and social care organisations are required to provide annual evidence of compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards through the Data Security and Protection Toolkit.

Our staff, contractors and others involved with the work of the ICB receive, appropriate and ongoing training to ensure that they are aware of their personal responsibilities and have contractual obligations to uphold confidentiality, which are enforceable through disciplinary procedures. Staff are trained to ensure how to recognise and report any incident and the organisation has procedures for investigating, managing and learning lessons from any incidents that occur.

Your information will not be sent outside the United Kingdom where the laws do not protect your privacy to the same extent as the law in the UK. We will never sell any information about you.

The ICB maintains a set of regularly updated policies and procedures covering all aspects of information governance. These can be found here:

Documents and Publications – Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB)

Data Protection Impact Assessments

DPIAs are required under the UK General Data Protection Regulation, where data is being used in a manner that it either is identifiable or there is a risk of an individuals’ identity being revealed. DPIAs are an integral part of taking a privacy by design approach.

A DPIA can reduce the risks of harm to individuals through the misuse of their personal information. It can also help us to design more efficient and effective processes for handling personal data.

DPIAs aid us in determining how a particular project, process or system may affect the privacy of the individual, which are designed to enable an assessment prior to new services or new data processing/sharing systems being introduced.

A summary log is available on request from the Information Governance Team by contacting: hnyicb-ery.ig@nhs.net

Your Rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation all individuals have certain rights in relation to the information which the ICB holds about them. Not all rights apply equally to all our processing activity as certain rights are not available depending on the lawful basis for the processing.

When you view an entry in our ‘Use of Personal and Sensitive Information’, we have highlighted which rights apply and which may not. To help understand why some may not apply the following should help.

Examples of where rights may not apply – where our lawful basis is:

Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller – then rights of erasure, portability do not apply.
Legal Obligation – then rights of erasure, portability, objection, automated decision-making and profiling do not apply.

If you require further detail each link below will take you to the Information Commissioner’s Office’s website where further detail is provided in section ‘When does the right apply’.

These rights are:

Under the NHS Constitution you have the right to privacy and to expect the NHS to keep your information confidential and secure.

You have the right to be informed about how your information is used.

You have the right to request that your confidential information is not used beyond your own care and treatment, and to have your objections considered and where your wishes cannot be followed, to be told the reasons including the legal basis.

A system is being developed which will allow people to opt-out of their confidential patient information being used for reasons other than their individual care and treatment. The system will offer patients and the public the opportunity to make an informed choice about whether they wish their personally identifiable data to be used just for their individual care and treatment or also used for research and planning purposes. Details of the national patient opt-out can be found here: https://www.nhs.uk/your-nhs-data-matters/

Invoice Validation

Data Controller(s)	NHS Humber & North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board
Purpose	Invoice validation is part of the process by which providers of care or services get paid for the work they do. Invoices, with supporting information, are submitted to the ICB for payment, but before payment can be released, the ICB needs to ensure that the activity claimed for each patient is their responsibility. These invoices are validated within a special secure area known as a Controlled Environment for Finance (CEfF) to ensure that the right amount of money is paid, by the right organisation, for the treatment provided. The process followed ensures that only the minimum amount of information about individuals is used by a very limited number of people and is designed to protect confidentiality.
Type of information Used	Identifiable (NHS number, date of birth or postcode) and Special Category (health information)
Legal basis	GDPR Article 6(1)(e) – processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller. GDPR Article 9(2)(h) processing is necessary for the purposes of the provision of health or social care or treatment or the management of health or social care systems and services. A section 251 approval (CAG 7-07(a)(b)(c)/2013) from the Secretary of State, through the Confidentiality Advisory Group of the Health Research Authority, enables the CCG to process identifiable information for the purpose of invoice validation within a Controlled Environment for Finance.
How we collect (the source) and use the information	The validation of invoices is undertaken within a controlled environment for finance within the North of England CSU (NECS) which is based at John Snow House, Durham, DH1 3YG. This is carried out via a section 251 agreement and is undertaken to ensure that the ICB is paying for treatments relating to its patients only. The dedicated NECS team receives patient level information (minimal identifiers are used for this purpose, such as NHS number, post code, date of birth) direct from the hospital providers and undertakes a number of checks to ensure that the invoice is valid and that it should be paid for by the ICB. The ICB does not receive or see any patient level information relating to these invoices. Further information about invoice validation can be found on NHS England’s website here
Data Processors	North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) The Controlled Environment for Finance uses NHS Shared Business Services as a Data Processor.
Transfers of Data Overseas	NHS SBS carry out some of their processing activity in India. Where this occurs it is governed by the use of approved Model Contract Clauses.

How we collect (the source)and use the information	Personal Health Budgets are managed in one of three ways or a combination of all three. · Notional – We tell you have much money is available for your care; you say how you want us to spend the money. If your local NHS team agree this meets your needs they arrange the care and support for you. · Third Party – An organisation looks after the money for you and you say how you want to spend it. If your local NHS team agrees this meets your needs, the organisation pays for the care and support you have chosen. · Direct Payments – Once your care plan has been agreed, we give you or your representative the money to buy and manage your own healthcare and support. Your local NHS team must agree that this meets your needs. You can spend your Personal Health Budget on any care or services that are set out in your care plan and agreed with your local NHS team. You will be able to use your Personal Health Budget for a range of things to help you meet your goals, for example therapies, personal care and equipment. You don’t have to change the healthcare and support that is working well for you, but if there is something that isn’t working, you can change that. Things you can’t include in your plan will be explained to you at the beginning of the planning process. You will not need to pay for emergency care and care you normally get from a GP. This process is carried out with the consent of the patient to satisfy the Common Law Duty of Confidentiality. Emergency Planning Response & Recovery: The ICB is required to keep a record of all vulnerable patients living in the community with complex health conditions; this information may be used in conjunction with emergency planning, preparedness and response, for example, to organise a rapid response service following an emergency or major incident.

Legal basis	GDPR Article 6(1)(e) ‘processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority…’ GDPR Article 9(2)(b) ‘processing is necessary for the purposes of carrying out the obligations and exercising the specific rights of the controller or of the data subject in the field of …social protection law in so far as it is authorised by Union or Member State law..’ For the purposes of Article 9(2)(b) the provisions of the Children Acts 1989 and 2004, and the Care Act 2014 are relevant.
How we collect (the source)and use the information	The ICB may receive information relating to safeguarding concerns from you directly or relatives or through notification of concerns from other partner organisations. All Health and Social Care professionals have a legal requirement to share information with appropriate agencies where safeguarding concerns about children or adults have been received. Where it is appropriate to do so the organisations will keep you informed of when information is required to be shared, to provide you with assurance regarding the security of that sharing and the benefit to you or the person you are raising safeguarding concerns about. Access to this information is strictly controlled and where there is a requirement to share information, e.g. with police or social services, all information will be transferred safely and securely ensuring only those with a requirement to know of any concerns are appropriately informed. The Children Act 1989 establishes implied powers for local authorities to share information to safeguard children. Local authorities have a duty to investigate where a child is the subject of an emergency protection order, is in police protection or where there is reasonable cause to suspect that a child is suffering or is likely to suffer significant harm. The Children Act also requires local authorities ‘to safeguard and promote the welfare of children within their area who are in need’ and to request help from specified authorities including NHS Trusts and Foundation Trusts, NHS England and CCGs (superseded by ICBs). These are required by the Children Act to comply with such requests. The Children Act 2004 places statutory obligations on member agencies to co-operate in the safeguarding of children. The Counter Terrorism and Security Act 2015 places the duty on various public bodies to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism. Information will be shared with partner agencies to inform the Prevent agenda and strategy on such issues.

How we collect (the source) and use the information	Care and Treatment Reviews are independent panel meetings about your care arranged by the ICB. The CTR panel is made up or professionals who are not involved in your everyday care. The panel members listen to you and to everyone involved in your care. They look at your notes and check that your care and plans are working well. They use this information and their own experience to decide what will improve your care and plans for the future. They speak up when they think your care could be different or better. ICBs have to understand people’s needs, to plan for different levels of support at different times. They work with other health and social care services to find out who needs extra support or contact to make sure things are okay. If someone suddenly becomes very unwell and urgently needs to go into hospital, there might not be enough time for a community CTR. If this happens, an adult should have a hospital CTR within four weeks of going into hospital, or two weeks if you are a child or young person. This process is carried out with consent from the patient in order to satisfy the Common Law Duty of Confidentiality.

Cancer Waiting Times

Data Controller(S)	NHS Humber & North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board
Purpose	The Cancer Waiting Times data has been collected as part of the National Cancer Registry (now NCRAS) since 2001, and many different policies and legislation have historically been used to keep this data flowing in order to monitor times taken to diagnose and treat patients with cancer and ensure these are in line with the expectations and rights of patients in the NHS Constitution. The Cancer Wait Times (CWT) system collects and validates the National Cancer Waiting Times Monitoring Data Set, allowing performance to be measured against operational Cancer standards. Data is checked and records merged to the same care pathway to cover the period from referral to first definitive treatment for cancer and any additional subsequent treatments. The CWT system then determines whether the operational standard(s) that apply were met or not for the patient and the accountable provider(s).
Type of information Used	Different types of data are legally allowed to be used by different organisations within, or contracted to, the NHS. Pseudonymised – the ICB may only receive this information in a pseudonymised format which does not identify individuals.
Legal basis	GDPR Article 6(1)(e) – processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller. GDPR Article 9(2)(h) processing is necessary for the purposes of the provision of health or social care or treatment or the management of health or social care systems and services. NHS Digital has been directed by NHS England under section 254 of the Health and Social Care Act 2012; to establish and operate a system for the collection and analysis of the information specified for this service. NHS Digital has received a direction from the Secretary of State concerning the handling of patient objections. The Direction references the collections for the National Cancer Registry (now NCRAS) which Cancer Waiting Times is part of. A copy of the Directions is published here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads /attachment_data/file/517522/type2objections.pdf This information is required by NHS Digital under section 259(1) of the Health and Social Care Act 2012. In line with section 259(5) of the Act, all organisations in scope, in England, must comply with the requirement and provide information to NHS Digital in the form, manner and period specified in this Data Provision Notice.
How we collect (the source) and use the information	The CWT system enables NHS Trusts to upload a locally generated report to a central system, which then generates key data reports against specific performance measures. The CWT system holds National Cancer Waiting Times Monitoring Data Set in a series of pre-aggregated static reports. These reports are available monthly and quarterly data (aligned with the National Statistics for Cancer Waiting Times published by NHS England). Users can query the CWT system to generate reports to feedback on the progress towards meeting these targets. We use these datasets for a number of purposes such as: · Performance monitoring against standards · Reviewing the care delivered by providers to ensure service users are receiving quality and cost effective care · To prepare statistics on NHS performance to understand health needs and support service redesign, modernisation and improvement To help us plan for the future.

Electronic Palliative Care Co-ordination System (EPaCCS) in Humber and North Yorkshire

Data Controllers		The direct health and social care providers who are involved in delivering end-of-life care to patients are Data Controllers in Common using the shared EPaCCS system. This includes GP practices, community care providers, hospices, hospitals, social care providers, care homes, NHS 111, ambulance services and NHS Out-of-Hours services. Please note NHS H&NY ICB does not have routine access to the EPaCCS system and will only access the system in the case of investigating complaints, security breaches or essential administrative tasks To find out more about EPaCCS and how it supports end-of-life care in Humber and North Yorkshire go to: https://humberandnorthyorkshire.org.uk/how/digital-futures/#EPaCCS If you have any queries please contact: hnf-tr.yhcrhcv.carerecord@nhs.net
Why we need to process your personal data?	Patients who are at the end of life come into contact with many health and care professionals. The challenge has been in enabling different care providers to share information about an individual patient’s care and end-of-life preferences in a safe, up-to-date and efficient way. Treatment choices, how and where care is delivered, and the preferred place of death are at the heart of end-of-life care. Patient choices are not static and often change during the last weeks and months of life. Typically, preferences for end-of-life care are collected by GPs and inputted into their GP system. However, this may not always reflect the latest wishes of the patient and may not be available to all of a patient’s health and care providers. EPaCCS enables the recording and sharing of a patient’s care preferences and key details about their care at the end-of-life. As it is electronic it can easily be shared 24/7 between all the clinicians and carers involved in the patient’s care across organisational and geographical boundaries. An EPaCCS record can be created, updated and shared by any member of a patient’s health and care team, subject to locally determined pathway and user administration settings. The EPaCCS record is a summary record, intended to provide an easily accessible view of the information that carers need in an end-of-life setting. We process personal information because it is necessary to comply with our legal obligations and perform our public duty.
How do we collect information about you?	Personal information relating to you will be received from a number of areas. Some of the information about your medical history, such as medications and conditions, will come from your GP record. Information about your preferences for how and where you receive care at the end-of-life will be provided by you when you share this information with the different health and care professionals who care for you. Only the personal information necessary about you in order to help us deliver the right service or meet legal obligations will be collected.
What information will be shared about you?	Only information about you that will help the health and care professionals who provide your care make the best decisions about your treatment and ensure that your preferences and wishes are respected will be shared. This includes: your demographic details (name, contact details, NHS number, gender), your medications, diagnoses and problems, CPR decision, preferred placed of care and preferred place of death.
How your information is used?	Your information will be used to ensure that the health and care providers that care for you have the information they need to provide the best care for you and to ensure that your wishes and preferences at the end-of-life are known, shared and respected.
Who will your personal information be sharded with?	The information within EPaCCS will only be shared with health and care professionals that are directly involved in delivering your care. These organisations include GP practices, hospitals, hospices, care homes, Out-of-Hours services, NHS 111, community service providers and social care providers.
What is the reason for processing your personal information?	Health and social care providers have determined that the appropriate legal justification upon which this information can be shared for the purposes of the EPaCCS end-of-life shared care record is the delivery of direct care. This is in line with the recommendations of Caldicott Reviews of 1997, 2013, the provisions of the Data Protection Act (DPA) 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR). The applicable articles in GDPR are: Article 6 (1)(e) – “processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;” Article 9 (2)(H) – “processing is necessary for the purposes of preventive or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the working capacity of the employee, medical diagnosis, the provision of health or social care or treatment or the management of health or social care systems and services on the basis of Union or Member State law or pursuant to contract with a health professional and subject to the conditions and safeguards referred to in paragraph 3”
How long will we keep your personal information for?	We will only keep your personal information for as long as we need to, so we can give you the service you need, unless we must keep it for legal reasons. You have the right to remove your approval for us processing your end-of-life preferences at any time. It will only be held for the periods stated in our records management policy and retention schedule, after which it will be securely destroyed.
What are my rights in relation to my personal information?	You have the right to: · ask to see the personal information we hold about you; · ask us to change it if it is wrong; · ask us to delete the information we hold about you; · ask us to limit the way we use your personal information; · have your information transferred to another Authority; · complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office. You can withdraw your approval for the processing of your personal information and sharing of your end-of-life preferences at any time.

Pharmacy, Optometry & Dental

Data Controller(s)	NHS Humber & North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board
Purpose	Primary care services provide the first point of contact in the healthcare system, acting as the ‘front door’ of the NHS. Primary care includes general practice, community pharmacy, dental, and optometry (eye health) services. The ICB primary care team manages a series of contracts for the above groups to support continued patient access and to enable the delivery of the most appropriate primary care services needed across the ICB footprint. The ICB primary care team also oversees the quality of these service contracts to ensure that contracts are compliant and responsive to national changes of service specifications or regulations. The team works closely with all contractor groups and their professional bodies to deliver business-as-usual processes, whilst also collaborating on innovative and transformational projects which drive primary care services to develop further.

The team works closely with all contractor groups and their professional bodies to deliver business-as-usual processes, whilst also collaborating on innovative and transformational projects which drive primary care services to develop further. Special Allocation Scheme: It is important that practices can maintain a safe environment for their patients and all staff working in the practice. NHS Regulations allow a GP practice to immediately remove a patient from their list following any incident where a GP or member of practice staff has feared for their safety or wellbeing, resulting in the incident being reported to the police. Special Allocation Schemes were created to ensure that patients who have been removed from a practice patient list can continue to access healthcare services at an alternative, specific GP practice. The ICB has a responsibility to ensure that all patients can access good quality GP services and that patients are not refused healthcare following incidents that are reported to the police. Patients are registered on the scheme by the submission of a request for immediate removal of the patient to Primary Care Support England by a GP practice. Patients are sent a letter informing them that they have been registered on the scheme and the ICB receives a copy of the request from PCSE. Incidents: Data is processed in relation to patient safety and other incidents reported to the ICB which affect a POD contractor.

Population Health Management (PHM)

Data Controller(s)	Humber & North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board
Purpose	Population Health Management (or PHM for short) is aimed at improving the health of an entire population. It is being implemented across the NHS and the ICB is taking part in a project extending across the Humber Coast and Vale Health and Care Partnership. PHM is about improving the physical and mental health outcomes and wellbeing of people and making sure that access to services is fair, timely and equal. It helps to reduce the occurrence of ill-health and looks at all the wider factors that affect health and care. The PHM approach requires health care organisations to work together with communities and partner agencies, for example, GP practices, community service providers, hospitals and other health and social care providers. These organisations will share and combine information with each other in order to get a view of health and services for the population in a particular area. This information sharing is subject to robust security arrangements. If it is determined that an individual might benefit from some additional care or support, the information will be sent back to your GP or hospital provider and they will use the code to identify you and offer you relevant services. Examples of how the information could be used for a number of healthcare related activities include; · improving the quality and standards of care provided · research into the development of new treatments · preventing illness and diseases · monitoring safety · planning services
Type of information Used	The information will include personal data about your health care. This information will be combined and anything that can identify you (like your name or NHS Number) will be removed and replaced with a unique code. This means that the people working with the data will only see the code and cannot see which patient the information relates to.
Legal basis	GDPR Article 6(1)(e) – processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller GDPR Article 9(2)(h) processing is necessary for the purposes of the provision of health or social care or treatment or the management of health or social care systems and services.

NECS are part of NHS England. More information can be found here http://www.necsu.nhs.uk/ NECS will link all the information together. Your GP and other care providers will then review this information and make decisions about the whole population or particular patients that might need additional support.
