Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government, in regard to page 218 of the Paterson Inquiry report, published on 4 February 2020, whether they have published information explaining to patients how care in the independent sector differs from NHS care, including in relation to practicing privileges, indemnity arrangements and emergency provision; and if so, where that information is publicly available.

The Government is committed to fulfilling the recommendation arising from the Paterson Inquiry. Information will be published in due course.
