BRIS-141
Response
Historic
Require discrete services to meet current standards or cease offering the service
Recommendation
For discrete services, whether specialist services or otherwise, to be validated trusts they must be able to demonstrate that all relevant aspects of the service can currently be met, rather than that the trust aims to develop so as to be able to do so at some point in the future. Trusts which do not meet the necessary standards to ensure the safety of patients and a good quality of care should not be permitted to offer, or continue to offer, the relevant service.
