	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/04/2018 answer text <p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) quality standards are concise sets of statements designed to drive quality improvements within a particular area of care and cover the National Health Service, public health and social care. They are derived from the best available evidence, normally NICE guidance but also other sources of NICE-accredited guidance, and are developed by NICE in collaboration with health and social care professionals, their partners and service users. The Department does not have any arrangements for monitoring the uptake of NICE quality standards centrally as they are not mandatory, although health and care commissioners are expected to take them fully into account.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 17/04/2018 14:04:58 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
