To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the Accessible Information Standard.
This question was answered on 8th March 2017
NHS England is conducting a post-implementation consultation on the Accessible Information Standard, which all organisations that provide National Health Service care or publically funded social care have been required to follow since 1 August 2016. The consultation will enable NHS England to assess the impact of the Standard and to ensure that it is, and will be, fit for purpose.
