answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2018 answer text <p>The proposed regulation changes do not ‘create’ Accountable Care Organisations (ACOs).

NHS England has promised to publicly consult on the ACO contract before it is used anywhere in the NHS.</p><p><br> The Department will not bring forward legislation until NHS England has consulted on the draft ACO contract.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 06/02/2018 16:13:57 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
