The full report and recommendations from the NHS National Medical Director can be found at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/clinical-review-nhs-access-standards/" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/clinical-review-nhs-access-standards/</a></p><p> </p><p>These proposals will now be rigorously field tested, to gather further evidence on clinical, operational, workforce and financial implications. Alongside field-testing, a review panel will undertake extensive engagement across the wider health system ahead of presenting the evidence and making final recommendations to the Government. Staff bodies, patient groups and others will be involved in the testing and development of the proposals before finalising recommendations.</p><p> </p><p>A final report will be published in the autumn, after which final recommendations will be implemented more widely, and full implementation beginning in spring 2020.</p><p> </p><p>The standards are set out in the Handbook to the NHS Constitution and we will update the Handbook as necessary to reflect any changes to standards. There is no requirement to hold a consultation to make changes to the handbook.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 21/03/2019 17:08:39 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
