DSCN 2009 / 09

NHS Reforms: NHS Wales Data Definition Update

 

A health care provider providing services from one of the following:

 

a)

A private hospital, home or clinic registered under section 23 of the Registered Homes Act 1984.

b)

A separately managed NHS unit (including Local Health Board/Trusts) for patients using a hospital bed or for patients using a nursing home bed under the care of a consultant.

 

NB: Private, registered clinics will include those providing treatment which may not be strictly health care, e.g. hair transplant. This is currently the case, and activity would not be required from such clinics unless a contract was placed with them.
