\nThe purposes of the Cancer Patient Experience Survey, 2015 were:
\n
to secure continuous improvement by building on the results of the 2014 survey and to enable local providers to assess their performance improvement with other providers;
\n
to enable commissioners to assess local improvements in cancer patient experience via locally agreed Commissioning for Quality and Innovation (CQUIN) schemes;
\n
to provide NHS England with an up to date overview of cancer patient experience across England;
\n
to provide NHS Improving Quality with data on each participating trust and the areas on which quality improvement needs to be focussed; and
\n
to enable patients to make informed choices about where to go for cancer treatment via publishing the provider level analysis on publicly available websites.
\nThe 2015 data are based on the experience of an initial sample of 116,991 cancer patients, reduced to 108,272 through checking and deceased status measures, and in total 71,186 responded, either by post or online, phone or through the Quality Health translation service. The response rate was 65.7% overall, in line with the levels attained in previous years.\n \n \nThis study, SN 8163, is an edited version of the data collection, subject to standard End User Licence access conditions. NHS England has devised a set of rules to be applied to the data and edited the dataset in order to suppress any personal identifiable information in accordance with the ICO's guidelines on anonymisation and the National Statistician's guidance on suppressing disclosive data. These rules are designed such that there will be no less than three respondents shown when any given cross-tabulation is applied to the data. The rules by which the data are suppressed are as follows.
