(Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), 2020) On the other side, enterprise is able to
analyse different data which provided by ONS (Office for National Statistics). Data analysis is
important task to this enterprise, because it identifies people identities through data analysis. In
short, through ONS enterprise enables to provide health and care support to those people which

one of the richest countries in the world. That's its one area called Hammersmith and Fulham is

economy, this enterprise can easily find various finding sources for fulfilling its financial needs

economy, because currently it provides great employment opportunities to local people. On the

Mostly those people contribute social enterprise who believes in humanity and who want to

enterprise are symbol of humanity. These are some reasons which shows importance of social
factors to a social enterprise.
