Data Provision Notices: Section 259 Health & Social Care Act 2012
We issue a Data Provision Notice each time we use our statutory power under Section 259 of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 (the Act).

Details
The Act gives the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) statutory powers, under Section 259 (1), to require data from health or social care bodies or organisations who provide health or adult social care in England.
The Department of Health (on behalf of the Secretary of State) or NHS England may direct the HSCIC to establish a data collection.
When the HSCIC receives such a direction it issues a Data Provision Notice to the appropriate providers of the required data.
Organisations in scope of notice are legally required under Section 259 of the Act to provide the data set as specified by HSCIC, in the published Data Provision Notice.
