Capita have provided NHS England with plans to recover the most important services, including the Medical, Dental and Optometry Performers Lists. NHS England is meeting with Capita on a weekly basis to oversee the delivery of these plans and to ensure the right improvements are in place to address the backlogs and delays.

My hon. Friend, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Nicola Blackwood), will continue to work directly with Capita and NHS England to ensure that services are restored to an acceptable and sustainable standard.
