In 2009/10 DH has decided to end some of the collections from the Autumn Assessment exercise. This is due to the fact that the National Service Framework (NSF) and the 10 year NHS Plan has come to an end. For the Service Mapping Collection we recognise that data is still required but perhaps not as detailed.

What has been decided:-

Finance mapping data collection will be collected this year 2009/10. We do now have formal ROCR approval. In the light of repeated requests from organisations keen to make an early start, we opened the website in late October 2009.

There is no Service mapping collection in 2009/10. We will review the collection in the new year (2010). The idea is to review future needs of Providers/Commissioners/Services/Ministers and put a collection together in 2010/11.

 Self Assessment and Themed review exercises are now finished, the last reports are 2008/9 reports. The Self Assessment report is published and the Themed Review national report will be published in early 2010
