NHS-wide Clearing Service

The NWCS was the NHS-wide Clearing Service for NHS England and NHS Wales. It was a method of data exchange between NHS organisations, for non-clinical purposes such as statistical analysis set up in 1996. Previously Hospital Episode Statistics were collected by regional health authorities.[1]

It was operated by McKesson, who supplied the ClearNET IT system and was superseded in 2007 by the Secondary Uses Service (SUS).
