National Obesity Audit, April 2024 - June 2024 [Management Information]
Other reports and statistics
Summary
The National Obesity Audit (NOA) publication series presents a developing set of nationally agreed measures, with the overarching aim to provide a comprehensive picture of activity, access to services and health outcomes of patients using weight management services (WMS) across England. This will allow providers to track, benchmark and improve the quality of these services in future.
This release includes data from 2 sources, Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) for Tier 4 WMS, and the Community Services Data Set (CSDS) for Tier 2 and Tier 3 WMS.
Disruption relating to the coronavirus illness (COVID-19) would seem to have affected the quality and coverage of some of our statistics, such as an increase in non-submissions for some datasets. We have also seen some different patterns in the submitted data. For example, fewer patients are being admitted to and discharged from hospital. Therefore, data should be interpreted with care over the COVID-19 period.
Highlights
Hospital Episode Statistics (HES)

The interactive dashboard provides both annual and quarterly time series data. Please note that the dashboard will always show the most recent data available and therefore may contain data not included in this publication. The supporting Excel files containing the most recent data can be accessed via the latest publication.
Please note, in 2022/23 the regional mapping for Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust changed from the North East and Yorkshire to the Midlands region. This update was not applied at the time of original processing for 2022/23 data. The updated mapping has been applied to quarterly data only in this release, it will be applied to all annual data in the December publication.

Community Services Data Set (CSDS)
Data on WMS submitted to CSDS. This has been included as a series of developing data quality metrics (split by tiers) to help understand where there are gaps in coverage (non-submission) and where submitted data needs to improve before we start publishing any measures around activity, access and wait times and outcomes.
The interactive dashboard is primarily aimed at those who submit this data so they can address any data quality issues in future submissions. The data available in this release is outlined below. See the metadata file in the resources section for a full list of published measures. All published CSDS data for this publication is final data.
