Health written question – answered at on 14 May 2009.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what recent guidance his Department has issued to the Mid-Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust on (a) the implementation of the recommendations Lord Darzi's report, High Quality Care for All and (b) the preparation of quality accounts; and if he will make a statement.
The implementation of High Quality Care for All (HQCfA) requires action at national, regional and local levels. Trusts have and will continue to receive a range of guidance on implementation of the report's recommendations. The operating framework for the NHS in England 2009-10 sets out the national priorities for the national health service, including the wide range of enablers to support the NHS in delivering HQCfA.
Quality Accounts will be produced in 2010, subject to the successful passage of the current Health Bill. Quality reporting is being tested by NHS Foundation trusts and by providers in the East of England in 2009. Guidance on this has been issued jointly by Monitor, the Department, the Care Quality Commission and NHS East of England, and is available on Monitor's website.
