Clinical review of NHS access standards interim report
NHS England 11 March 2019
  • In 2018 Professor Stephen Powis, NHS National Medical Director, was asked to carry out a clinical review of standards across the NHS, with the aim of determining whether patients would be well served by updating and supplementing some of the older targets currently in use. In this interim report, Professor Powis sets out his recommendations for doing so in mental health, cancer, urgent and emergency care, and elective care.
