Health and Social Care

Last updated on Monday 26 February 2024

Our Health and Social Care domain oversees the regulation of statistics concerning the health of the UK population and health and social care services provided in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

We will be looking to the statistics system to improve statistics about performance, by working with new official statistics producers to make sure that the statistics produced on waiting times, workforce and mental health are timely and meet user needs.

We will champion data sharing and the joining-up of data on health and social care with data on other aspects of people’s lives, including crime, justice, education, employment and welfare, to maximise the value of data. We will also continue to contribute to relevant parliamentary enquiries and follow these up with relevant engagement.
