Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Bethell on 9 March (HL1750), whether they plan to make changes to the NHS constitution for England if they make changes to NHS access standards.
The NHS England and NHS Improvement Clinically-led Review of Access Standards is still underway. The existing National Health Service performance standards remain in place, and the Government will respond to the recommendations of the review once it has concluded.
