Clinical audit is an important tool for driving up standards in the delivery of treatment and care. The National Institute for Cardiovascular Outcomes Research regularly provides clinical audit data to NHS England and the regulators which they use to monitor the outcomes at all children's cardiac centres. As part of the Congenital Heart Disease review, NHS England is currently reviewing the type of information that it analyses to monitor the outcomes of these services.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3918", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jane Ellison"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Battersea"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jane Ellison"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-06-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-06-19T15:16:38.3715065Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-06-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Heart Diseases: Children"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that children's heart surgery units receive equal and sufficient levels of scrutiny across the country.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1540", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Greg Mulholland"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Leeds North West"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Greg Mulholland"} ], "uin" : "199258"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/58259", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/58259/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
NHS England is currently undertaking the congenital health disease review. It has conducted extensive pre-consultation engagement with a wide range of stakeholders who have an interest in congenital heart disease.<\/p>
<\/p>
NHS England has made considerable progress in responding to their concerns and, for the first time, it has developed a comprehensive set of commissioning standards that will cover the whole patient pathway from infancy to adult services and right through to palliative care and bereavement.<\/p>
<\/p>
Following the engagement process, we understand that NHS England will consult on these draft service standards later this year, but not in July as previously anticipated.<\/p>
<\/p>
Moving forward, NHS England is committed to a review that is robust, transparent, inclusive, and which will deliver high quality and sustainable services for all patients.<\/p>
<\/strong><\/p> All information relating to the review can be found on NHS England's website and through a fortnightly blog.<\/p> <\/p>"}
