Delivering quality and value: consultant clinical activity 2005-06

This tool enables acute trusts to benchmark consultant clinical activity in 10 specialties.  Charts have been sent to individual trusts with the data for their own consultants. An  anonymised version of the tool is available on the DH website.  This release follows up last year’s joint DH and York university report which used 2004-05 HES data. The methodology used this year is the same as previously and uses the methodology outlined in York University’s report: Measuring productivity of hospital consultants using hospital episode statistics in England. DH will be repeating this exercise using HES data for 2006-07 and 2007-08.
