Listening exercise: Let your views be heard
There is currently a pause in the legislative progress of the Health Bill through Parliament. This pause is to allow further listening and discussion around the bill's proposals. There are four themes to the listening exercise. These include:
Choice and competition - How can we ensure that competition and patient choice drives NHS improvement?
Accountability and patients - How can we make the NHS properly accountable to the public, and make sure that patient involvement is at the heart of its decision making?
Advice and leadership - How can we ensure that advice and leadership from NHS staff themselves on improving services and tackling patient needs are at the heart of the health service?
Education and training - How can we make sure that NHS staff in the future have the right skills to meet changing patient needs? Are the arrangements we have proposed for education and training the best ones to ensure this?
You can find out more about the listening exercise on the Department of Health website.
