Both were reviewed and updated in 2015, with changes to ambulance response time standards added to the Handbook through an addendum published in August 2017. The overall Handbook will be reviewed and updated in 2018.</p><p> </p><p>Pledges in the Constitution cover a range of access standards which are reflected in the Government’s mandate to NHS England for 2017-18 and set out in NHS guidance.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 21/12/2017 15:35:57 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
