HSCB Reveals 2024/25 Disease Prevalence Trends for Northern Ireland
The Health and Social Care Board (HSCB) has released raw disease prevalence trend data for Northern Ireland, covering the 2024/25 period. This data, collected under the Northern Ireland Contract Assurance Framework (NICAF), helps General Practices identify patients needing specific management.
Prevalence, measuring the frequency of diseases in a population at a given time, is crucial for healthcare planning. Northern Ireland's historical prevalence data is available from 2004/05 to 2023/24, providing a comprehensive overview.
Previously, prevalence data was collected under the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF). Now, NICAF collects this data as part of the GMS Contract, ensuring practices maintain disease registers for accurate prevalence tracking.
The publication of the 2024/25 prevalence data allows practices to better manage patient health. With historical data dating back to 2004/05, trends can be analysed, aiding in future healthcare planning and resource allocation in Northern Ireland.
