<p>In order to inform his recommendations, the independent chair of the Accelerated
Access Review, Sir Hugh Taylor, will be seeking views from a variety of stakeholder
groups, including patients and their carers, medical charities, academics and researchers,
as well as industry, the National Health Service and key arm’s length bodies such
as the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and NHS England. We have
agreed a systematic engagement approach for these groups to ensure they all have the
opportunity to input. A workshop involving representation from all these stakeholder
groups was held on 2 July, and the review team is asking umbrella organisations and
trade bodies to support it in continuing to reach a wide audience by holding a series
of engagement events throughout the summer; these events are currently being planned.
The review’s website is also being developed to include a crowdsourcing platform to
allow these groups, and the wider public, to participate.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We
expect the report of the Accelerated Access review to be submitted by the end of the
year.</p><p> </p>
