Background information
The annex details the research we have undertaken by
- looking at each of the records mentioned,
- what data we collected now,
- what is collected elsewhere,
- concluding with a recommendation to align these in these proposals.
It was not necessary to read the annex to complete the consultation and there was no expectation on providers to look at this, but it may be helpful background reading, if you are interested.
We have now updated the annex from the consultation with the outcomes. This is available in the 2022-23 notification of change pages for Staff, ITT and Data Futures in our reviews section.
