answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2016 answer text <p>We will continue to encourage long term partnerships between the National Health Service and the private sector in order to deliver responsive and innovative healthcare services while ensuring better value for taxpayers. It is right that these decisions are made locally by the NHS and not politicians. We are clear that patients should be able to access the best possible providers based on quality not the sector.</p><p> </p><p>Commissioners can use a range of tools to secure services, including managing providers’ performance, extending and varying contracts, widening choice of qualified provider, and tendering. They will need to choose the right tools for different circumstances. Local conditions vary and there is no one-size-fits-all model for raising standards.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 27/10/2016 09:16:27 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
