Yes. We are committed to driving NHS reform and supporting programmes that aim to deliver better and quicker care for patients.

An excellent example is the Getting It Right First Time programme which supports trusts to streamline pathways and deliver timely elective care and operations.

This includes supporting systems to ring-fence elective capacity, optimise surgical pathways, and increase surgical hub numbers over the next three years.
