PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(21 February 2025)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how the NHS England Consultation on changes to Right to Choose under the NHS Payment Scheme Policy will take into account the views of patients and their families.

Asked by:
Pippa Heylings (Liberal Democrat)

NHS England has followed standard procedure in its consultation on the NHS Payment Scheme. A consultation on changes to the payment scheme takes place every year as required to by law. While the legal requirement is to consult commissioners and providers, the views of patients and their families are important and responses are therefore accepted from other interested parties and members of the public. Responses will inform further decisions on the final scheme design.
