Automation holds significant potential to support the United Kingdom health care system and its recovery throughout the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The Local Knowledge and Intelligence Service North East and Yorkshire (LKIS NEY) team of the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) within the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) applies automated data sciences techniques in the context of public health intelligence. This publication presents one successful project that has used code to automatically extract data from a website to support evidence-based decision making on deaths and hospital beds during the pandemic.
