HM Government
Accepted
The Department agrees with this recommendation and has published an evaluation strategy for the Health Transformation Programme on the 25 May 2023. The evaluation strategy sets out how the Department will use a combination of impact and process evaluation to assess the current performance in the Health Transformation Areas as well as future performance as the new Health Assessment Service is developed and rolled out. Programme metrics will be used to monitor progress on an ongoing basis. This evaluation evidence will inform programme decision-making, including roll-out decisions, at key milestones. The evaluation strategy will further iterate as the programme’s plans develop to ensure that evaluation continues to meet both policy and programme needs. The evaluation strategy report commits to publishing information about the programme’s performance and evaluation at points when the service is suitably developed and robust, and where publishing will provide a representative picture of the Health Transformation Programme’s progress.
