Health Services: Translation Services
(asked on 27th February 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government how they monitor compliance with the 'Guidance for Commissioners: Interpreting and Translation Services in Primary Care', published by NHS England in September 2018.
This question was answered on 6th March 2023
The Department does not monitor compliance with this guidance. However, when commissioners, NHS Regions and integrated care boards commission interpreting and translation services for their areas, those contracts would be governed in line with National Health Service guidance and professional standards.
