White paper update for all NHS North West Staff

Please note that the DH business plan (2011 – 2015) is now available on the DH website at http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/Publicationsandstatistics/Publications/PublicationsPolicyAndGuidance/DH_121393

This business plan sets out the vision and priorities for the Department of Health, and in the Structural Reform section the key commitments involved in delivering their reform programme. The Transparency section of the plan sets out the key indicators that the DH believe are most useful to the public in understanding the costs and outcomes of health and social care services, and also provides a wealth of additional data that Boards and the public will find useful, and which is further expanded in the supporting Information Strategy that accompanies the plan.
