An initiative has been launched by NHS Digital and the Private Healthcare Information Network (PHIN) that will see performance data, published by private hospitals, integrated into NHS systems. Called the Acute Data Alignment Programme (ADAPt), the initiative aims, in part, to address cases in which an individual may have received care privately and therefore has treatment information missing from their NHS health record.

IMS publishes annual report on electronic music industry. The wide-ranging report, which summarises consumer trends, growth forecasts and sales data, shows a modest two per cent dip in the monetary value of the industry overall. International Music Summit (IMS) has published its latest annual report. The 28-page report observed industry successes in all four categories—recorded music, DJs and live acts, clubs and festivals, and companies and brands, though year-on-year growth for the entire industry dipped slightly (£7.3bn, a two per cent drop from last year.)
