•All providers of NHS care will have to publish quality accounts each year
•All patients with long-term conditions will have personal care plans •Five thousand of those with long-term conditions will pilot personal care budgets •An NHS draft constitution, out for consultation, sets out rights and responsibilities of NHS patients, staff and providers •One right will be to access to any appropriate drugs approved by the National Institute for health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) •NICE's appraisals of new drugs and treatments will also be speeded up so they take a maximum of six months rather than two years •Other rights include to seek treatment in the rest of Europe if faced with an "undue delay" in England •Lord Darzi says patients should have the right to choose which GP practice they go to, and to express a preference for a certain doctor •GP funding will change, with the removal of the minimum income guarantee which acts as a disincentive for practices to take on new patients, with payments linked more closely to improved access and quality of care •There will be more freedom for individual GP practices to commission care themselves •Preventing people getting ill, by giving them more help to improve their diet or quit smoking, will be given more emphasis. |
