Written Question
NHS Trusts: Standards
Thursday 5th June 2025

Asked by: Lord Sharkey (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to publish data regarding the performance of specialised services (1) delegated to integrated care boards, and (2) retained by NHS England.

Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

Data related to the performance of specialised services is factored into other performance processes undertaken by the National Health Service. In 2025/26, this will include monitoring performance using the NHS Performance Assessment Framework. A consultation on the draft NHS Performance Assessment Framework was launched on 12 May 2025. Further information on the framework is available on the NHS.UK website, in an online only format.

The framework will monitor the performance of NHS organisations and will publish an assessment of how well each organisation is considered to be delivering against the framework’s metrics. The proposed metrics include organisational performance in meeting certain NHS Constitution rights, such as the right to start consultant led treatment within 18 weeks, which applies equally to specialised and non-specialised NHS services.
