Recommendation (the committee's words)
We recommend that the Department of Health and Social Care, the national bodies, and individual organisations across the NHS and social care commit to capturing and disseminating the innovations—in particular giving greater levels of autonomy to staff and new forms of integrated working—during the pandemic so that they can be embedded in organisations as they return to ‘business as usual’.
