Analysis
Data collection started from 01/04/2008
Basic data available at https://www.ndtms.net/ (public domain)
Quarterly reporting now under way
Top Level Numbers 08/09:
1464 Agencies via 152 PCTs
104,104 people in specialist alcohol treatment services
70,142 of those are new presentations
91% of waits for 1st intervention < 6 weeks, 80% < 3 weeks
Average wait for 1st intervention is 2.1 weeks
Analysis – Data Quality
Potential Issues
High percentage of waits are zero (40% - all, 44% - < 6weeks)
4,506 individuals either missing or defunct PCT
30% of ALCDAYS and ALCUNITS fields have no value
What’s working?
Validation of PCT field currently being tested
Workaround only leaves 458 missing PCTs
Most critical fields are within compliance levels
