§ 17. Mr. ToddWhat steps he is taking to improve the monitoring, analysis and reporting of (a) the outcomes and (b) the quality of patient care. [18246]
§ Ms JowellThe national health service White Paper, on which my right hon. Friend will make a statement to the House in three minutes' time, will set out a range of 793 means by which the Government will seek to improve quality and outcomes for patients, which are at the heart of our determination to rebuild the NHS.
§ Mr. ToddIt is obvious that patients care most about successful outcomes. What steps are being taken to share the evidence of successful treatment and to compare the performance of different areas of the health service to 794 ensure that we achieve the best possible value and the greatest number of successes in treating patients who seek help from our NHS?
§ Ms JowellMy hon. Friend is right: nothing matters more to patients than knowing that the treatment that they receive will work and that effective treatment is available to them regardless of where they live.
