What is “Equity and Excellence – Liberating the NHS”?
The NHS White Paper, Equity and Excellence – Liberating the NHS, is potentially the biggest transformation of the NHS since its inception in 1948. Proposals include a focus on localised care, “no decision about me without me”, decreasing health inequalities, embedding equality, GP Consortia, and a number of key new statutory bodies: HealthWatch and The NHS Commissioning Board). The mechanisms of this change are still being discussed.
