Overview
- Summary of dataset and variables
This shows monthly data for selected additional activities by measure (number or average number per working day) and area (health board and cluster).
- Data collection or calculation
General practices have been required to submit data for selected additional activities via the Primary Care Information Portal (PCIP), from 1 July 2022, as a result of a quality improvement project contained in the 2021-22 Quality Assurance and Improvement Framework (QAIF).
See the quality report for definitions of each activity.
- Statistical quality
There is an ongoing programme to roll-out a single appointment system to all practices in Wales, that is planned for completion by summer 2026. This means that some practices have transitioned systems around the data reference dates, which may lead to additional data quality issues. Where data quality issues are identified, they are shared with Digital Health and Care Wales who work with health boards and practices to improve data quality. The statistics for the most recent quarter are based on the data as initially recorded. Erroneous data are usually edited in the source data after publication and statistics are then revised in the subsequent quarter’s publication.
Data for January to September 2025 have been revised in line with our planned revisions policy. There was a 27.6% change for fit notes issued at Wales level, as a result of correcting erroneous data recorded in the previous quarter. Changes for all other additional activities were small ranging between 0.1% and 1.0%.
The data for April to December 2025 will be revised in the next publication.
