The burden of collecting from private providers, not documented above as there is no category to select on the drop downs, is unchanged from the previous application. Burden calculations were based on WTE days per anumn (20 per acute provider) and have been converted into this format. Are you planning on collecting from Independent and Voluntary Sector Organisations? Yes Proposal for ROCR Approval ROCR Contact Details 14. If sampling of organisations is not being used please state why. See Note Sampling was not considered appropriate as these data need to be complete to be used for service planning and management and for use by cancer registries for surveillance and historical trend and/or population based analyses of cancer incidence and survival. 15. Are the estimates above and the design of the collection supported by any pilots, consultation exercises, trials or other tests of the proposal? If so, please give details. See Note As detailed in the previous application to license these estimates have been derived from discussions with organisations and users currently entering data into the Cancer Waiting Times Database. 16. If your proposal results in an increase to the ongoing burden (as indicated in Q13 above), please indicate what measures you propose to reduce the burden elsewhere to result in a net zero change or decrease. See Note This ongoing continuation of this collection is not an increase in the burden placed on the NHS. Additionally, it is hoped that reductions in the burden of data collection for cancer might be reduced by: •The proposed changes to the recording of patient choice that are intended to reduce the need for freetest reporting; and •Using this dataflow to form part of the COSD at cancer registries, thereby removing the need for duplication in collection. 17. What collection method do you propose to use?

If other, please state: Extracts from local NHS systems (including PAS) and Multi-Disciplinary Team systems will be transmitted in CSV format to the Cancer waiting Times Database, a central secure web based system administered by NHS Connecting for Health. 18.

If not, please give reasons why. See Note Data collected via this mechanism are used to produce official statistics on waiting times for suspected and diagnosed cancer patients. Many of these data sets have 'national statistics' designation. All are available for reference at: www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-workarea/career-waiting-times/ 23.

In addition to this patie pathways may include both Foundation and non-Foundation Trusts due to the complex nature of certain diagnostic processes and the specialised nature of cancer treatments. 28. Is the information or any Yes, the complete dataset is currently collected from Foundation Trusts. part of it already collected? If This should be continued to allow monitoring of cancer services for the so please state why this complete. At the current time this is vital because: •these data and the should be collected again. patient pathways they are used to manage and monitor form part of Monitor’s compliance framework; •patients often cross organisational boundaries meaning that Foundation Trust support is required to monitor the whole patient pathway; •the two week wait standard is in the NHS constitution as an access right, these data are therefore required by Foundation Trusts to support the management of any request for redress •the cancer waiting times commitments are in the 'Everyone Counts: Planning for Patients', this covers both Foundation Trusts and those organisations that commission services from them; and •cancer registries use these data, which are part of the current cancer registration dataset ( be replaced by COSD) as a secondary source for notifications of cancer, these organisations require complete population based datasets to make this viable. 29. Please explain why you propose the frequency of collection as stated in Question 13. These data are collected monthly to inform service management, monitoring and performance management of local SLAs, with a quarterly extract cycle (from the Cancer Waiting Times Database) used for publication. Only quarterly data are published as national statistics, to ensure a large enough sample size for meaningful analysis and to retain patient confidentiality However, this approach is being reviewed with a vi to moving to monthly publications, we anticipate measures can be put in place to guard against disclosure in monthly publications. To support the management of cancer services and the production of official statistics these data are to be complete and validated on the central system (the cancer waiting times database ) by the 25th working day after the end of each month (or quarter). Full details of the required deadline dates are published for the NHS at: http:\\nww.hscic.gov.uk/nhais/cancerwaiting/prop-reports 30. If you are proposing to collect from all Foundation Trusts, please give reasons why a sample cannot be used? A sample cannot be used as this data collection is used to support monitoring over a period of time. To do this regular, periodic collections a needed in order to monitor the performance of cancer services. In additio to this, the patient records collected within the Cancer Waiting Times Database are reported to commissioners (to monitor contracts and SLAs) and passed to Cancer Registries to support the collection and production National Statistics. 31. Can the proposed information be provided by commissioners rather than directly from Foundation Trusts? If not, why not? These data cannot be collected from commissioners as not all of the information relating to treatment modalities and diagnosis is available to commissioners in a timely manner. In addition to this, the aim of the Cancer Waiting Times Database is to provide a portal, by which NHS Providers can supply these data to both Cancer Registries and Commissioners. 32. Does all the data requested fall into one or more of these categories? See Note a. Vital for Patient Care b. Essential for the flow of funds to NHSFTs c. The requesting body has a statutory duty to provide the information d. Very High ministerial profile See Note e. Necessary for Care Quality Commission assessment f. Directly underpins delivery of a target (State which).
