Seven day services forum with Prof Keogh

NHS Services, Seven Days a Week
NHS England, July 2013
  • Professor Sir Bruce Keogh, the National Medical Director, has set up a seven day services Forum which is focussing to explore proposals for improvements and examining the key issues which affect delivery of a seven day service.
  • The Forum is organised into five work streams:
    • Clinical standards;
    • Commissioning levers;
    • Finance and Costing;
    • Workforce; and
    • Provider models.
  • A report is expected in autumn of 2013, identifying how there might be better access to routine services seven days a week.
