Policy reform timeline
Local government and the NHS are engaged in an extensive agenda of health and care reforms. We have commissioned a digital version of the timeline of policy reforms, split by theme, that sets out the major pillars of reform with key deliverables. The Department of Health and Social Care, Care Quality Commission and Health Education England, amongst others, have helped produce this timeline.
We’d like to invite your feedback on this tool; how useful it is in local forward planning; how helpfully it is laid out; and whether the level of detail is right.
Please send feedback to integration@local.gov.uk.
