Abstract
This paper describes the challenges posed for the National Health Service (NHS) minimum data set (mds) by recent changes in health care and its delivery. The issues are not peculiar to the NHS, whilst some of the detail is unique to this system, many of the developments will correspond to changes in other countries.
