Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the answer by Lord Prior of Brampton on 16 November (HL Deb, col 1417) concerning the NHS England integrated dashboard, what form it will take, what is its function, and whether the information collated will be publically available.

The NHS England Mental Health Five Year Forward View Dashboard was published in October 2016 as an online only resource.

A key purpose of the Dashboard is for NHS England and the Five Year Forward View Programme Board to be able to monitor progress on its commitments to transform mental health services and improve transparency. In addition, by making the data publically available, NHS England is ensuring that commissioners can use it as a tool to inform their work, and that services users, their families and carers can see how local services are performing and understand where to look to make informed choices about their care.
