*The COSD Governance Board has approved two changes to the published COSD Conformance Framework v2.0 reporting schedule, which is available from the Downloads webpage. 

It has been agreed that the NCRS will have two working days to make available the Level 1 reports. Providers will then have five working days following the Level 1 reporting date in order to discuss, correct and resubmit any files previously submitted by the deadline.

It is hoped that these decisions will help support the NCRS with the upload of data whilst also improving the accuracy of the subsequent Provider conformance reports. Both these decisions are interim solutions and will be reviewed when there is an automated process for submitting and processing files received.
