NHS Consultation on Constitution including sustainability

Dear Colleagues, 

DHSC has published its consultation on the NHS Constitution . The NHS Constitution, last updated in 2015, has to be updated at least every 10 years by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. The consultation will run for 8 weeks.

This is a DHSC consultation. As the NHS Constitution is for patients, public and staff, we are providing signposting so our colleagues, stakeholders and partners can respond via the formal DHSC consultation process.

As part of these changed the government are proposing to add a new NHS value of ‘Environmental responsibilities’ which includes achieving legislative commitments and improving our resilience and efficiency. Please have a look and respond as you think fit! https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/nhs-constitution-10-year-re…
