Requirement: Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) Subset Extract for
Dementia Prevalence for financial year 2015-16
Customer Requirement Reference Number: NIC-329437-L9M3C
They start at 0-29 then go up in 5 year cohorts: has QOF changed? So a
serious question: how *do* you diagnose dementia in a toddler?
Keep an eye on this sort of thing - the GPES IAG is being terminated on June
30th before the plans for 'replacement' are finalised..
(and this Customer Requirement was shown to the IAG for comment: the
comments did not materially alter the customer requirement)
But at any rate, you have to sign up to this *and* it is aggregated data.
The Enhanced FMG dataset developed by SCCI (which will be in charge of
approving GPES extracts from general practice from 1st July) contains fully
identifiable data without consent - and I haven't been able to locate the
legal basis for this or whether 'fair processing' is involved.

Let us know if you find it.
Shape of things to come?
