Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what cost-benefit analysis his Department has carried out on the NHS (a) Quality and Outcomes Framework and (b) Quality, Innovation, productivity and Prevention programme; and if he will place a copy of all such analysis in the Library.

NHS England has agreed to review the Quality and Outcomes Framework and this work will begin shortly.

The Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention programme ended in 2013 when wider changes to the health and care system came into being. A summary of each of the work streams, and key achievements was published at:
