Member for Oxford West and Abingdon (Dr. Harris), on patient surveys, if he will place a copy of the analysis commissioned by his Department in the Library. [138350]
§ Miss Melanie JohnsonFollowing publication of the National Cancer Patient Survey in July 2002, the Department of Health commissioned a further analysis of the data to inform the development of future surveys. This was an exploratory piece of work to see if there were any inter-dependencies that might affect the patient experience. The output will not be a formal report but rather a series of detailed statistical tables. These will be made available to the Commission for Health Improvement, which has taken over responsibility for the national patient survey programme.
