Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many regulatory bodies NHS trusts are required to engage with.
This information is not held centrally.
There are a range of regulatory bodies with a remit for sections of National Health Service trusts’ operations, which can vary. NHS England and the Care Quality Commission are the principal organisations which every trust can expect to engage with on the quality of care, delivery of services and financial efficiency.
