They are the definitive source of immunisation uptake and coverage within England and, as such, are essential to limiting the spread of communicable diseases. They provide information about individual children’s health (which can be useful e.g. during an outbreak of a disease for which some children may be immunised), but also provide a population-perspective, enabling effective targeting of services (e.g. they capture non-GP-registered children enabling a whole population view to be taken about needs to inform a commissioning strategy). CHIS will also support the NHS Digital Technology open-api-policy and the Department of Health Digital Strategy Personalising Health and Care 2020.
