Privacy Notice – Quality Alerts
A quality alert is a systemic issue, generally affecting a service, or the ability to deliver a high quality service. The Integrated Care Board’s (ICB) quality team triage quality alerts (QA’s) and incidents reported by GPs/provider organisations.
The ICB has a statutory duty to support NHS England with the continuous quality improvement of primary medical services as set out in the Health and Social Care Act 2012 and the Primary Medical Services assurance framework.
In order for the ICB to triage quality alerts and incidents reported by GPs and providers, the quality team at the ICB may require the relevant individual’s NHS number in order to investigate the quality alert or incident.
