On July 10th the IAG considered a request from the Secretary of State for
Health for monthly extracts for the number of patients with dementia
registered with practices (so a subset of QOF data) to be published monthly
by practice.
QOF data is already published - annually - by practice.
Practices will be treated as having consented unless they opt out (same as
the first QOF extract under the new system)

As you see there were two recommendations (this was being considered by the
JGPITC on the same day).
So I just wondered whether any practices had been told about this yet?
