The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health (Dr Daniel Poulter)
I am today announcing that the Department of Health is commencing a triennial review of the NHS Litigation Authority. This review forms part of the first tranche of reviews to be announced this Session.
Triennial reviews of arms-length bodies are a key part of the Department’s stewardship and assurance of the health and care system, they also contribute to the Government’s wider programme of work on public bodies reform.
The review will consider the body’s functions and corporate form, as well as performance and capability, governance, and opportunities for greater efficiencies. The Department will be working with a wide range of stakeholders throughout the review.
I will announce the findings of the review later this year.
