Korner are the datasets that community staff (DNs, HVs, MWs etc) have to
enter into their silly PSIONs. Everey patient contact & type etc....
These are collated & "analysed" (I use the term loosely) by their
community NHS trust & the data (not information!) are passed on as
central returns to the DOH. Some of the data is re-issued to purchasers
to help with budget-setting etc. The quality & quantity of data are poor
and poorer. The qulaity and quantity of useful information are even
worse :-(
