answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2017 answer text <p>It is for NHS Improvement to oversee and regulate National Health Service providers and, when necessary, to intervene to ensure the delivery of financially sustainable healthcare. This intervention may include placing a provider into special measures for financial reasons, and monitoring the progress of those individual providers. NHS England and the Department do not intervene in specific NHS providers matters such as these. The Department holds NHS Improvement to account for the delivery of their objectives, and fully supports their actions to improve the finances of the sector.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 22/11/2017 14:14:46 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
