Health Services

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to page 91 of his Department's policy paper entitled Fit for the future: 10 year health plan for England, published 1 July 2025, what criteria was used to determine which conditions should receive a modern service framework; and whether respiratory health meets these criteria.

Answer

Everyone in the National Health Service is responsible for delivering high-quality care. As announced in the 10-Year Health Plan, as well as an overall quality strategy, the National Quality Board will oversee the development of a new series of service frameworks to accelerate progress in conditions where there is potential for rapid and significant improvements in the quality of care and productivity.

Early priorities will include cardiovascular disease, severe mental illness, and the first ever service framework for frailty and dementia. The Government will consider other long-term conditions with significant health and economic impacts for future waves of modern service frameworks.
