It also ensures that the NHS is fully accountable to parliament and the public, while maintaining the NHS’s clinical and day-to-dayoperational independence• explicitly set out the parity of mental health and physical health and ensure transparency around the spending allocated to mental healthsupport• support the government’s ambitious adult social care reforms, by creating the right framework for assuring, funding and sharing data on socialcare, to enable individuals to maintain their independence for longerMatthew Taylor, chief executive of the NHS Confederation said:“Our members – leaders across the NHS – have been clear that collaboration and partnership working at the local level must be the future of healthand care. This legislation will help to facilitate that.“We are pleased that government has heeded our calls to put safeguards on the new powers the legislation gives the Secretary of State for Healthand Social Care over local service reconfigurations, which will let local leaders lead.“We welcome the extent of engagement we and our members have had with the department over the course of the bill process.“Our members working across Integrated Care Systems look forward to fulfilling their statutory responsibilities from 1 July, working to deliver thebest possible care for the local communities they serve.”Louise Ansari, National Director at Healthwatch England said:“Today marks an important milestone in creating an NHS that makes it easier for everyone to get the care they need.“Integrated care is an ideal incentive for health and social care services, councils and the voluntary sector to work together to design servicesthat work better and reflect the way people use them. The new structures will work best if people, and in particular those from seldom heardgroups, get truly involved and have a say in planning our health and care. By integrating services across communities, we have a chance to addressdelays and gaps in care.“As a statutory champion for patients’ rights, we look forward to playing our part, supporting the NHS to hear and act on the issues that peopleface so that professionals and the public can work together to overcome the current challenges and build a better NHS for generations to come.”Richard Murray, Chief Executive of The King’s Fund, said:“The main thrust of this act is a welcome shift away from the focus on competition between health care organisations towards a new model ofcollaboration, partnership and integrated care. The legislation gives the NHS and its partners greater flexibility to deliver joined-up care to theincreasing numbers of people who rely on multiple different services. Now the hard work of implementation begins. Local health and care leaderswill need support, endurance and commitment to turn the opportunity of this act into a reality for local communities.”The government will continue to build on these strong foundations to ensure services have the long-term resource needed to provide world-classcare. At the heart of this agenda are three key aims for reform – a focus on prevention, a commitment to delivering more personalised care andcontinuing to improve healthcare performance.The next issue copy deadline, Tuesday 31st May 2022All enquiries: To the editorial team, The OTJ Lawrand Ltd, PO Box 51, Pontyclun, CF72 9YYTel: 02921 680068 Email: admin@lawrand.com Website: www.lawrand.comThe Operating Theatre Journal is published twelve times per year.
