National Health and Care Service Charter
Results updated 22 Jan 2018
The Department of Health and Social Security consulted on both a National Health and Care Service Charter and an NHCS General Scheme. This initial report summarises the responses to both consultations. The summary document includes, where appropriate, an initial response from the DHSC. It does not set out any final policy proposals, as these are being reviewed before the Charter is laid before Tynwald. The Charter will set out both the government’s commitments and the public’s rights and responsibilities in respect of the NHCS. More than 300 responses were received by the DHSC in respect of both consultations from individuals and organisations, and a wide range of opinions were expressed, although only a handful commented specifically about the Charter.
