About HIYAH

The HIYAH strategic programme of work has been commissioned by the fourteen PCTs across the region to support them collaboratively on the development of World Class Commissioning up to 2011. The Health Intelligence Reference Group (which reports to the Yorkshire and Humber Commissioning Development Board) will provide the oversight of HIYAH funding and work during 2011/12. This work has previously been governed by a HIYAH Commissioning Board. This Board was chaired by Allison Cooke, Chief Executive of NHS North Lincolnshire and comprised representatives of PCT Directors of Commissioning, Performance and Public Health leads. Read the HIYAH Commissioning Board Minutes.

The work of the programme is monitored through the Regional Health Intelligence Leads that meets every two months. This group comprises senior health intelligence leads from all PCTs, YHPHO, SHA, NYCRIS, Trent Cancer Registry and Health Protection Agency.
Find out more about the Regional Health Intelligence Leads meeting.

The quarterly Regional Health Intelligence Analysts forum offers a valuable learning and development opportunity for analysts to network and discuss topics at the top of the regional health intelligence agenda. A private team area on the YHPHO website provides a central space for analysts in the region to share resources and ideas. Further information is available from Sue Ward .
