Can DFI please explain the methodology they have used to blacken (their colour) the SHMI.
It looks like the poisson limits and not the official NHS methodology Over Dispersion. Hence choosing to increase the number of outliers.

Aren't they are a member of the SHMI technical group, and agreed the correct methodologies? Or is that Doc Foster Research I get confused by the distinction.

Also aren't DFI 50% owned by HSCIC and what are they doing to ensure that DFI follow the appropriate methodologies.

We do not need commercial companies using inappropriate methodologies.
