Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the Answer of 14 July 2014 to Question 204180, on the basis of what information NHS England and his Department established that local commissioners are fulfilling the assessment of providers passing or failing the Commissioning for Quality and Innovation pre-qualification thresholds in 2012-13 and 2013-14; and whether that information will be published.

The arrangements for Commissioning for Quality and Innovation (CQUIN) pre-qualification reporting are a matter for the clinical commissioning groups and area teams. We understand that National Health Service England does not capture any data centrally on whether providers were assessed to have met (or not met) the pre-qualification criteria which have been part of previous national CQUIN schemes.
