Clinical Negligence Scheme for Trusts (CNST) Safety Action 2: new data files
To help Trusts understand to what extent they meet the Clinical Negligence Scheme for Trusts (CNST) Data Quality Criteria for Safety Action 2, we have begun publishing two new data files each month which contain information for data providers showing their performance against all MSDS-derived Safety Action 2 criteria.
The files containing February 2022 data were added to this publication on 10 June 2022.
Updated versions of these files were added to this publication on 22 June 2022 to include a correction to the Ethnicity DQ outputs, as 30 providers had previously been incorrectly showing in the files as having met this criteria when they had not.

Summary
Maternity Services Monthly Statistics February 2022, experimental statistics
This is a report on NHS-funded maternity services in England for February 2022, using data submitted to the Maternity Services Data Set (MSDS).
This is the latest report from the new version of the data set, MSDSv2. The new data set is a significant change which adds support for key policy initiatives such as personalised care plans and continuity of carer, as well as increased flexibility through the introduction of new clinical coding. This is a major change, so data quality and coverage has reduced from the levels seen in previous publications.
The data derived from SNOMED codes is still being developed. We have included data on smoking at booking and birth weight and others such as alcohol consumption will follow in later publications. SNOMED data is also included in some of the published Clinical Quality Improvement Metrics (CQIMs) where rules have been applied to ensure rates are calculated only where data quality is high enough. System suppliers are at different stages of developing their new solution and delivering that to trusts. In some cases this has limited the aspects of data that could be submitted to NHS Digital.
These statistics are classified as experimental and should be used with caution. Experimental statistics are new official statistics undergoing evaluation. More information about experimental statistics can be found on the UK Statistics Authority website.
Updated versions of the two CNST DQ files were added to this publication on 22 June 2022 to include a correction to the Ethnicity DQ outputs, as 30 providers had previously been incorrectly showing in the files as having met this criteria when they had not.

Maternity Services Data Set (MSDS): this is a patient-level data set that captures information about activity carried out by Maternity Services relating to a mother and baby(s), from the point of the first booking appointment until mother and baby(s) are discharged from maternity services. This is a secondary uses data set, which re-uses clinical and operational data for purposes other than direct patient care.
