Decision
a) Before providing our response, it is important to note the following.
Part of the timeframe for the request (2022-23) was a time when HSSIB was not in existence. HSSIB can only provide data from 1 October 2023 onwards, the date on which it came into existence as an independent arm's length body.
Data held by the former body, Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch (HSIB), prior to 1 October 2023 should be requested from NHS England.
Further details can be found on the HSIB legacy page, which explains the difference between HSIB and HSSIB.
NHS England can be reached on: england.contactus@nhs.net.
