COPYING LETTERS TO PATIENTS ... GOOD PRACTICE GUIDELINES
22 pages

The NHS Plan (Paragraph 10.3) made a commitment that patients should be able to receive copies of clinicians’ letters about them as of right. A working group convened by the Department of Health in 2001 set out the background to the initiative in a report in February 2002. It is available on the Department of Health's web-site, www.doh.gov.uk/patientletters/issues.htm and is in two parts: draft guidelines, and recommendations to the Department of Health.

THE STATUTORY DUTIES TO CONSULT, ENGAGE AND INVOLVE
21 pages

This publication is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the statutory duties of NHS providers and Commissioners, in relation to the provision of health care.
 
It deals with the duties to involve, engage and consult the public in the development of services, and clarifies the rights of the public to be involved at every level when significant changes are planned for services. In particular, the document makes it clear that it is unlawful for NHS bodies to disregard the public’s views when NHS services and systems are being redesigned.  ​

QUALITY ACCOUNTS AND THE SCRUTINY ROLE OF LOCAL HEALTHWATCH
HAPIA Briefing Note
 Cathering Gleeson 
27 October 2014 ... 13 pages

Among the many priorities for Local Healthwatch Groups (HW), commenting on Trust’s draft Quality Accounts (QA) is one not to be missed. By providing knowledgeable, meaningful commentary on QA’s, HW can influence improvements in local health services. The current focus on integrated services, also give LHW an opportunity to use QAs to influence the effectiveness of social care services.

HAPIA Report - August 2014 - 26 pages


Numerous reports from Her Majesty's Inspector of Prisons (HMIP) and others, indicate serious problems in the standards of healthcare provided. As HM Chief Inspector of Prisons, Nick Hardwick points out “...away from public scrutiny, it is all too easy for even well intentioned staff to become accepting of standards that in any other setting would be unacceptable”.
