This deferment of non-urgent operations was the right thing to do while we managed the additional pressures of winter. For those patients who have not had new appointments, cancelled operations should be rescheduled by trusts at the earliest opportunity, taking into account patients’ clinical need.</p><p> </p><p>Decisions on scaling up and down bed capacity to respond to demand are managed locally by trusts.

This is to provide continued stability for NHS England and the wider NHS to focus on improving performance on core patient access standards whilst maintaining progress on key commitments in the NHS’s plan, the Five Year Forward View.</p><p> </p><p>The decision to roll forward the mandate, alongside providing an additional £2.8 billion for the NHS between 2017-18 and 2019-20, reflects the Government’s commitment to supporting the NHS to deliver essential improvements in elective care 18-week RTT and A&amp;E waiting times.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 28/03/2018 10:10:50 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay previous answer version 50227 answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
