The reconfiguration of local health services is a matter for the local National Health Service. All service changes should be led by clinicians and be in the best interests of patients, not driven from the top down.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
It is for NHS commissioners and providers to work together, with local authorities, patients and the public, in bringing forward proposals that will improve the quality, safety and sustainability of healthcare services.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Any changes must be supported by the Government\u2019s four tests for service change, namely:<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
- support from general practitioner commissioners;<\/p>
<\/p>
- clarity on the clinical evidence base;<\/p>
<\/p>
- robust patient and public engagement; and<\/p>
<\/p>
- support for patient choice.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Once a decision on a local case for change has been made, it is up to the NHS to ensure its local services meet the needs of its population.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
More generally, we would expect any local plans for changes to acute services to take full account of the impact on neighbouring hospitals.<\/p>

The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) will not affect the way the United Kingdom Government runs the National Health Service. It has been made clear by negotiators from both the United States and the European Union that it is up to the UK alone to decide how the NHS is run and any assertion that TTIP will undermine the Government\u2019s control of the NHS is a red herring.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The TTIP could offer great benefits to British business and for British jobs. Greater consistency in existing and new regulatory requirements would make it easier for companies - especially small and medium enterprises - to access markets and, for patients, potentially help to increase access to new medicines and medical devices.<\/p>

National Health Service funding has risen in each year of this parliament and is £12.7 billion higher in cash terms in 2014-15 than in 2010-11. The NHS is on track to make up to £20 billion efficiency savings this parliament to reinvest into frontline care. We are confident that it will continue to make the efficiency improvements necessary to meet rising demand and protect the quality of the services delivered.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
In a recent report commissioned by the Department, Frontier Economics has estimated that poor care could be costing the NHS up to £2.5 billion every year. In order to focus attention on the harms contributing to these costs and the savings that could be reinvested, a poster and leaflet will go out to all NHS hospitals to display this vital information to their staff.<\/p>

We have introduced a wide range of measures, including the Sign Up to Safety Campaign, Patient Safety Collaboratives, a new tougher inspection regime for providers and a reformed National Patient Safety Alert System to reduce mistakes in practice. In order to promote a culture of openness and transparency, that will enable organisations to learn from their mistakes, there will be the duty of candour in the event of serious harm. We are also publishing information on hospital performance, including staffing levels, as part of the new MyNHS website.<\/p>
