Data Description
Special Health Authorities in England - Special HAs tend to be national organisations rather than administering a particular area of the country.
How Data is Maintained
Special Health Authorities and Sites are statutory organisations. As such, any establishment, dissolution or changes to their name are published in a Statutory Instrument, which is released on to the Government website of the Office for Public Sector Information.
ODS checks this website daily and implement any changes required. Information on Special Health Authorities and Sites is relayed to ODS via the organisations in question. This is facilitated by an established ODS contact based within the organisation.
