Assuring Transformation data
This is also collected by/creditable to the HSCIC (see weblink here http://www.hscic.gov.uk/article/2021/Website-Search?productid=20879&q=assuring+transformation+report+quarter+4&sort=Relevance&size=10&page=1&area=both#top ). The latest available information is collated for the quarter January - March 2016. Nearly all commissioners provide information now, which is an improvement, but a lot of them provide information late, so the current total number of people recorded in this dataset (2,615 people) will increase as people are ‘found’ by commissioners later on.
