nKPI – summary over time

Trends for the national Key Performance Indicators in this report are calculated as a linear trend of comparable periods, including both the June and December collection periods. December data points are not shown in Table 1 but are available in the Data tables accompanying this report.

Of the 23 measures presented in Table 1, 3 have improved, 5 have had no (or limited) change, 10 have not improved, and trends for 5 cannot be calculated (for example because not enough comparable periods are available to calculate a trend).

Trends for collection periods from June 2020 onwards have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially the process-of-care indicators. See Summary for more information on the impact of COVID-19. See also Technical notes for more information on interpreting changes over time, and Interpreting nKPI data for more information on changes to indicator specifications.

Table 1: Trends for selected results(a)

  1. Trend is calculated as a linear trend of comparable periods between the June 2017 and June 2022 collection periods, including the December collection periods. December data points are not shown in this table but are available in the Data tables accompanying this report.
  2. There have been changes to the specification of this indicator over time. Data are not comparable over time for some components of this indicator. See Interpreting nKPI data for more information.
  3. There have been changes to the specification of this indicator over time, however, data can be compared between periods with caution. See Interpreting nKPI data for more information.

Notes

  1. Key: = improved; = not improved; = little or no change; n.a. = not enough comparable periods available to calculate trend.
  2. Some of the indicators in the national Key Performance Indicators (nKPI) collection have, or can be split into, more than one part.
  3. Reporting to the nKPI collection for June 2020, December 2020 and June 2021 was made voluntary in acknowledgement of the additional pressures on organisations because of COVID-19.
  4. See Technical notes for information, including on interpreting changes over time.
