The NHS are introducing measures to help staff and patients have more control of their services.
• The Right to Provide scheme will enable staff working in NHS and care services where it is “clinically appropriate” to set up as independent organisations to run the services they deliver. An example of where this would not be clinically appropriate is Accident and Emergency.
• At least £10 million additional funding is being given to the Social Enterprise Investment Fund to give staff the financial support necessary to do this.
