They therefore help CCGs and HWBs to understand where they may need to focus their efforts to improve services and outcomes. The timescales of the indicators vary according to the data source but the most recently available data is used in all cases. A full list of the time periods and updates for each indicator in this release is available in Appendix 1. New data periods have been added for the following existing indicators: 1.8 Emergency admissions for alcohol related liver disease 1.14 Maternal smoking at delivery 1.17 Record of stage of cancer at diagnosis 1.18 Percentage of cancers detected at stage 1 and 2 1.19 Record of lung cancer stage at decision to treat 1.22 Hip fracture: incidence 2.5 People with diabetes diagnosed less than a year who are referred to structured education 2.6 Unplanned hospitalisation for chronic ambulatory care sensitive conditions 2.7 Unplanned hospitalisation for asthma, diabetes and epilepsy in under 19s 2.11a The percentage of referrals to IAPT services which indicated a reliable recovery following completion of treatment 2.11b The percentage of referrals to IAPT services which indicated a reliable improvement following completion of treatment 2.11c The percentage of referrals to IAPT services which indicated a reliable deterioration following completion of treatment 3.1 Emergency admissions for acute conditions that should not usually require hospital admission 3.4 Emergency admissions for children with lower respiratory tract infections 3.14 Alcohol-specific hospital admissions 3.15 Emergency alcohol-specific readmission to any hospital within 30 days of discharge following an alcohol-specific admission 5.3 Incidence of Healthcare Associated Infection (HCAI) – Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) 5.4 Incidence of Healthcare Associated Infection (HCAI) – C. difficile 4 Copyright © 2016, Health and Social Care Information Centre.

CCG Outcomes Indicator Set: March 2016 publication This commentary includes: Description of the change of the data source owners for cancer staging indicators “1.17 Record of stage of cancer at diagnosis” and “1.18 Percentage of cancers detected at stage 1 and 2” and a change to the data source for “1.19 Record of lung cancer stage at decision to treat” with analysis of the effect on figures for 2013 which have been restated. Further analysis of all cancer stage indicators is included, with a set of CCG level maps for “1.17 Record of stage of cancer at diagnosis”, and top and bottom five performing CCG tables for both “1.18 Percentage of cancers detected at stage 1 and 2” and “1.19 Record of lung cancer stage at decision to treat”. Data, along with indicator specifications providing details of indicator construction, data quality, statistical methods and interpretation considerations, can be accessed by visiting the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) Indicator Portal at: https://indicators.hscic.gov.uk. This information can be found towards the top of the navigation tree on the left-hand side of the page under ‘CCG Outcomes Indicator Set’ where there are individual sections for each domain.

As of April 2015 there were 209 CCGs in England. This follows the merger of three CCGs; NHS Gateshead CCG, NHS Newcastle North and East CCG and NHS Newcastle West CCG which became NHS Newcastle Gateshead CCG. There is wide variation in the size of these organisations; as of 01 January 2016 the largest CCG, NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, had 929,926 registered patients and the smallest CCG, with 74,913 registered patients, was NHS Corby1. Where possible, indicator values are standardised by age and sex to account for differences in the age and sex profile of each CCG, ensuring CCG values are comparable with each other. Within the CCG OIS, values are published at ‘All registered patients in England’ (National) level where possible. This ‘National’ figure includes only data from the 209 CCGs, excluding data from NHS Commissioning Hubs2 i.e. the number of observed admissions at a ‘National level’ is the sum of admissions across the 209 CCGs (211 pre April 2015). Most of the indicators in this release report on 209 CCGs as the data relates to the 2014/15 year. Those indicators including data from 2015/16 and those where the data supplier aggregated data to the new merged CCG ahead of the organisational change are reported for 209 CCGs. Additionally, it is important to note that due to differences in data sources and methods, these figures are not comparable to England level figures in NHS Outcomes Framework indicators. For many of the indicators the methodology is consistent across the frameworks, but due to the fact the two frameworks serve different purposes, different data sources and methods are used. CCG OIS aims to support local commissioning functions and therefore uses registered patient counts as the subject population for calculating indicators3. The NHS Outcomes Framework focuses on national-level accountability and uses Office for National Statistics (ONS) mid-year resident population estimates as a denominator base. 1 HSCIC publishes GP patient counts on a quarterly basis, which are available on our website. Quoted January 2016 figures are available at: http://www.hscic.gov.uk/catalogue/PUB19775 2 Specialised commissioning hubs are responsible for leading the commissioning of specialised services in the NHS in England (i.e. for rare conditions and low volume treatments) including the direct commissioning of military and prison health services. 3 Where the use of registered patients is not possible, the resident population from ONS mid-year estimates has been used; this is clearly stated in the indicator description. 6 Copyright © 2016, Health and Social Care Information Centre. All rights reserved. CCG Outcomes Indicator Set: March 2016 publication Cancer stage indicators Summary of changes The CCG OIS contains three indicators that focus on the recording of the stage of cancer, either at diagnosis (Indicator 1.17 Record of stage of cancer at diagnosis), whether detection was at stage 1 or 2 (Indicator 1.18 Percentage of cancers detected at stage 1 and 2) or if the stage was recorded at the decision to treat the specific cancer (1.19 Record of lung cancer stage at decision to treat). For the first two indicators the responsibility for the source data, the Cancer Analysis System (CAS), moved with the National Cancer Intelligence Network (NCIN) when it became part of Public Health England (PHE) on 01 April 2013. NCIN is now part of the National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service (NCRAS) within PHE. The NCIN website is still being maintained until further notice at time of publication and is available here: http://www.ncin.org.uk/home This change has no effect on the data for these two indicators. The final indicator, “1.19 Record of lung cancer stage at decision to treat”, has had a more fundamental change. For the first time, the source of the cancer data has moved to a register from an audit, which aligns it with the other two cancer stage indicators. Previously, the data was taken from the National Lung Cancer Audit (NLCA) maintained by the HSCIC and now the data are from the National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service (NCRAS). The new data source is available to the public at the following website: http://www.ncr.nhs.uk . The data for CCG OIS indicator 1.19 that was previously published have been restated for the same period (2013) using the new data source, and updated with data for 2014. An archived file of the previous NLCA values is available on the HSCIC Portal. 1.19 Record of lung cancer stage at decision to treat The overall effect of changing data sources from an audit to a register has been a large increase in the number of patients recorded, and a smaller increase in the number with stage of cancer recorded at decision to treat lung cancer. The total number of eligible patients (denominator) increased by 22.2 per cent from 30,503 to 37,260 in 2013, whereas the number of patients with their stage recorded at decision to treat lung cancer (numerator) increased by 13.1 per cent from 28,285 to 31,983. This results in an overall drop of 6.9 percentage points for the indicator for 2013 when comparing the NLCA and NCRAS data. Figure 1. presents the percentage point change in the indicator value by CCG for 2013. Copyright © 2016, Health and Social Care Information Centre.

For example, NHS Rushcliffe CCG had a reduction in eligible patients (denominator) for 2013, down from 66 to 57 patients, while 24 CCGs (see Table 1) showed a reduction in the number of patients with stage recorded at decision to treat lung cancer (numerator) for 2013. The reason for these unexpected changes is not known and may be partly attributable to data quality changes. 8 Copyright © 2016, Health and Social Care Information Centre. All rights reserved.

CCG Outcomes Indicator Set: March 2016 publication Analysis of cancer staging indicators 1.17 Record of stage of cancer at diagnosis This indicator reports the percentage of new cases of cancer for which a valid stage is recorded at the time of diagnosis. This has increased over the time series to 75.9 per cent in England for 2014. There has been a reduction in the year on year increase from the first reported year for the England total, 59.4 per cent in 2012, (168,496 out of 283,448 patients) to 70.8 per cent in 2013 (206,379 out of 291,298) to 75.9 per cent in 2014 (225,016 out of 296,606). Despite this slow down, there has still been a 16.5 percentage point increase over the last three years. Figure 2.

It forms a subset of those cancers covered in indicator 1.17. Stage is a measure of how much a cancer has grown and spread, with later stages having poorer outcomes.4 The stage of a cancer describes the size of a tumour and how far it has spread from where it originated. Stage 1 and 2 relate to cancers that are small and remain in the organ where they started. For more information on the various staging definitions, please visit the NHS Choices website at: http://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/3169.aspx?CategoryID=96 When compared to indicator 1.17, this indicator has a slower rate of change between 2012 and 2014 for the England figure, rising from 41.6 per cent (84,178 out of 202,348 patients) in 2012 to 45.7 per cent (95,426 out of 209,005) in 2013, and to 50.7 per cent in 2014 (107,979 out of 213,161). The nature of the indicators is different, indicator 1.17 capturing whether any stage is recorded at diagnosis and indicator 1.18 noting of those diagnosed, which records reported the stage as being either stage 1 or 2. The larger improvement in stage recording is not reflected in the number of diagnoses at an early stage, indicating that whilst more patients are having a stage recorded at diagnosis, relatively fewer are being diagnosed at an early stage according to the figures. 4 NCIN cancer staging definition: http://www.ncin.org.uk/publications/survival_by_stage 14 Copyright © 2016, Health and Social Care Information Centre.

Certain CCGs appear consistently in either the top or bottom five CCGs for the three years reported. As indicator 1.18 represents a subset of the same patients captured by indicator 1.17, a low or high value in indicator 1.17 is likely to result in a similar value in indicator 1.18 provided the CCG in question has a standard mix of patients with the cancers used to calculate the indicator value.

Within this improved figure, there has been a lot of movement amongst CCGs. The top and bottom five CCGs by indicator value changed sequence and membership, although more CCGs remained in the bottom five than the top five, as seen in Table 4. Table 4.
