Recommendation 35

First Report - The Government’s White Paper proposals for the reform of Health and Social Care Published 14 May 2021 Paragraph 145 Addressed to Department of Health and Social Care

Health and Social Care Committee Department's White Paper on health and social care All items in this report Report on parliament.uk ↗ Inquiry on parliament.uk ↗

Recommendation (the committee's words)
We recommend that alongside the proposals to remove competition regulation, the Department establishes a framework that formally monitors and makes public annually: f) the proportion of contracts which change from year to year and the companies that were awarded contracts or had contracts renewed in each year; g) the proportion of contracts awarded to small and medium-sized enterprises; h) value for money of those contracts; and i) the patient experience. That framework should also ensure that innovation and diversity of provision from voluntary sector, social enterprise, and NHS organisations is encouraged and supported.
