There are no plans to do so. Concerns about individual Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR) decisions should be raised with the health or care provider involved in the first instance. NHS England and NHS Improvement have also published patient-facing information if individuals or their families are concerned about a DNACPR.
