<p>The South East London pathology network is being created as part of a national
strategy to network all National Health Service pathology services in England, following
identification of significant opportunity in the 2016 Carter review.</p><p>Due to
the significant benefits to quality and cost of service, all NHS trusts are expected
to network as per the direction set out by NHS Improvement in September 2017.</p><p>There
are different ways to approach networking and the delivery of pathology services and
the trust may wish to lead public consultation on any chosen delivery model, however
the decision to consult would be for the South East London hospitals involved to decide.
Neither the Department or NHS England have plans to consult on this specific network.</p>
