Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, when the Health and Social Care Information Centre next plans to review the list of treatment function codes for outpatient procedures.
In order for codes relating to new treatment functions to flow to the Secondary Uses Service, the national repository for secondary care data, a revision to Commissioning Data Sets is required. The last revision was in September 2012 and at present there are no plans for a subsequent version in the near future.
