According to the Government Response (December 2021), the Department of Health and Social Care accepted in principle the recommendation for mandatory independent resolution of complaints for all private patients, but noted that further work was needed on the implementation mechanism. According to the Government Response (December 2021), while ISCAS membership has grown, the government was considering whether legislative change was needed to make independent adjudication mandatory, with consultation ongoing. No further specific published evidence on the outcome of this consideration or consultation has been identified since the 2021 response.
