Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of Right Care, Right Person on ambulance services.

The Department has not made an assessment of the impact of Right Care, Right Person (RCRP) on ambulance services. The resourcing required to implement RCRP will vary depending on local agreements between multi-agency partners. As part of the preparations for implementation, the Department asked all integrated care boards to estimate the resource requirements it would take for them to deliver RCRP earlier in the year. NHS England guidance also asked all local areas to conduct an Impact Assessment with partner organisations when implementing RCRP.
