BRIS-135 Response Historic

Require private and voluntary NHS providers to meet national standards

Recommendation

Any organisation in the voluntary or private sector which provides services to NHS patients should be required to meet the standards for systems, facilities and staff which organisations in the NHS must meet. The aim should be that, wherever care is funded by the NHS, there is a single system of validation which indicates to the public that the organisation meets the necessary standards.
