Friends and Family Test data
Following a review undertaken by NHS England the Lead Official for Statistics has concluded that the characteristics of the Friends and Family Test (FFT) data mean it should not be classed as Official Statistics. All FFT data (including current and historic acute and staff FFT data) can now be found on this page and linked subpages. Further, data for all FFT settings will now be released on a single day of the month (dates listed below). Releasing all FFT data on the same day of the month should be beneficial to users as it will provide a single clear and complete picture of monthly FFT data from all FFT care settings.
Future release dates for all patient FFT settings (Inpatient, A&E, Maternity, Outpatients, Ambulance (patient transport), Mental Health, Community, GP, and Dental) are:
- 11 October 2018 for August 2018 data
- 8 November 2018 for September 2018 data
- 6 December 2018 for October 2018 data
- 10 January 2019 for November 2018 data
- 7 February 2019 for December 2018 data
- 7 March 2019 for January 2019 data
- 11 April 2019 for February 2019 data
- 9 May 2019 for March 2019 data
- 13 June 2019 for April 2019 data
- 11 July 2019 for May 2019 data
All staff FFT data can be accessed here. The next release of staff FFT data will be:
- 22 November 2018 for Quarter 2 2018-19
- 30 May 2019 for Quarter 4 2018-19
