Comparison of Annual Report and Accounts with Excel statistics (FOI_7723)
The following information was requested:
This is not a FOI request but I am looking to clarify some data in the latest Annual Report Statistics 2024/25 and I don’t know who to contact and I wondered if you could help. Annual statistics – NHS Resolution
Sheet B has a breakdown by category but there is also data for this in the latest Annual Report itself. The percentages in the Annual Report do not coincide exactly with the numbers (if calculated as percentages) in the All Claims table in Sheet B. Annual Report percentages are slightly higher for the larger categories. For example, if you combine the 2 obstetrics categories in the Annual Report graph Figure 18 the percentage is 11.2% (10.1 + 1.1). In Sheet B combining the figures for obstetrics in lines 11 and 12 (239 and 1,047) and calculating this as a percentage of total claims (line 31) this comes to 8.9%.
Is there a reason for this or am I missing something?
Home Birth (FOI_7724)
The following information was requested:
Follow up to – FOI_7690.
What information is easily retrievable from your system that could support research into incidents occurring during NHS home births in England?
For example, are there any:
- categories, codes or sub codes that commonly include home birth cases?
- claim descriptions, sub specialties, or free text fields that you can search without exceeding the FOIA cost limit?
- datasets, tables, or high level summaries that may indirectly capture relevant incidents (e.g., “birth outside hospital”, “community midwifery”, “delayed transfer”, etc.)?
- previously extracted statistics, examples, or anonymised case summaries that relate to births occurring outside hospital settings?
Any information that can be released within FOIA limits, even if broad or partial, would be extremely helpful for my research into safety incidents during NHS home births in England.
