You’ve been asked to have your say on NHS England. You just don’t know about it.

Members in England have 3 days (until 23rd November) remaining in which to provide your views on the proposed NHS mandate:

theguardian.com/commentisfr...

According to Ann Robinson in the Guardian NHS Opinion:

"The mandate’s important. In its own words: “The mandate to NHS England sets the government’s objectives for NHS England, as well as its budget.” It “sets direction for the NHS, and helps ensure the NHS is accountable to parliament and the public”. A fresh mandate has to be published every year “to ensure that NHS England’s objectives remain up to date”. A new mandate is due to be published following the completion of the spending review, to take effect from April 2016. There’s a consultation document that sets out how the government proposes to set the mandate to NHS England for this parliament. And it’s this document that we’re invited to respond to."

Am always interested in responding but don't feel I have enough information of the mandate or what we need to ask for. Guess I could scourer the document but perhaps a lead here?

Thanks
