uin	25605
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2024 answer text <p>The Government is working with NHS England to improve perioperative care. This should ensure best practice guidelines are implemented across surgery clinical care pathways, including for prosthetic infections. In May 2023, NHS England published guidance setting out five core perioperative care requirements relating to the care of adult patients awaiting planned inpatient surgery. These measures address the key objective of identifying health needs as early as possible in perioperative pathways, and then using time on the waiting list to optimise health. The NHS England National Elective Recovery and Outpatients programme is working with NHS England regional teams to help oversee and support compliance, and will continue to do so throughout 2024/25.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 14/05/2024 16:56:42 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
