Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, which teams in his Department are responsible for delivering the NHS Long Term Plan; what the remit of each such team is; and if he will make a statement.

NHS England and NHS Improvement are responsible for delivering the commitments set out in the NHS Long Term Plan, and it is this Government’s priority to support them in getting the implementation right. The National Health Service will publish an implementation framework for the Plan in spring 2019, setting out how the commitments will be delivered by local systems.

The Government will monitor delivery against the Plan and hold the NHS to account.
