Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to improve the timeliness and quality of vaccination coverage data reported by UK Health Security Agency, including in relation to the HPV and maternal RSV vaccination programmes.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) works with partners in NHS England to process, validate, and publish new data, where available, to improve monitoring of national vaccine programmes through the publication of reliable statistics. UKHSA constantly undertakes reviews of the quality and timeliness of the data published, assessing the quality of the source data against the data quality dimensions in The Government Data Quality Framework, publishing quality and methodology reports alongside the data reports.

The Government Data Quality Framework, the Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) QMI report, which outlines the quality and methodology information relevant to the RSV official statistics releases, and the Quality and methodology information: human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine coverage estimates in England are all available on the GOV.UK website.
