Creating the right environment for data management: The Welsh Environmental Data Interface (WENDI)

Agriculture, forestry and woodland account for 90% of Wales’s land use, generating a wealth of insightful statistical information. The Senedd Cymru / Welsh Parliament uses this data to inform policy, assist decision-making and help deliver a wide range of services to rural communities.

Sharing data across the NHS to improve patient services

NHS North West was established under government policy to strengthen primary care trusts (PCTs) and give GPs greater ability to commission or purchase health services directly for their patients. The organisation replaced the three former strategic health authorities in Cumbria and Lancashire, Cheshire and Merseyside, and Greater Manchester. The Association of Greater Manchester PCTs is taking forward a data analysis and reporting tool called the TIS Analyser, which was developed by Greater Manchester health organisations as part of the Tactical Information Service (TIS).
