The White Paper Equity and excellence: Liberating the NHS,
published on 12 July 2010, sets out proposals for the NHS to
become a truly world-class service that is:
 easy to access,
 treats people as individuals and
 offers care that is safe and of the highest quality
It set out a vision for an NHS that:
 puts patients at the heart of everything that we do
 achieves outcomes that are among the best in the world
 empowers our clinicians to deliver results based on the needs of patients

In order to help make the vision a reality, the White Paper set out a
commitment to seeking further views on proposals to give people
more information and greater choice about their care



Many people value being able to make choices, and
giving people more choice can lead to better
outcomes and experiences, can promote equalities
and reduce inequalities
The presumption should be that everyone has choice
and control over their care and treatment, and choice
of any willing provider for NHS care, wherever
relevant
When making these choices, decision-making about
their treatment or care should be shared between
them and their health and care professionals
◦ increasing the current offer of choice of healthcare provider,
◦ going further by enabling people to choose a named
consultant-led team,
◦ giving people more choice of where to have diagnostic tests
and more choice of where to have their treatment after a
diagnosis has been made.
◦ offering more choice in maternity services, mental health
services and more choice in end of life care.
◦ ensuring people are offered a choice of treatment as a
matter of course wherever feasible,
◦ ensuring people with long term conditions can make choices
about their care and are given the confidence to manage
their condition

Information supports the delivery of high quality care.
Information on treatments, conditions and lifestyle choices,
helping people look after their own & their family’s health & care,
should reach everyone and should be easy to understand.

People’s care records should become routinely available to them,
starting with their GP record.

Intermediaries should be free to innovate and present data.

The most important source of data is the patient or service
user’s care record, with data recorded once at the point of care.
This can then be used to generate a wealth of high quality
information that, in turn, gives people real knowledge and choice
◦ people will have greater access and control of their health
and social care records
◦ more information on treatments, conditions & lifestyle
choices, helping people look after their own and their
family’s health & care will reach everyone and will be easy to
understand
◦ there will be greater emphasis on information generated by
patients and service users, to help NHS and social care
systems become more responsive
◦ a wider range of providers to analyse and present
information to the public will help promote innovation and
enable greater tailoring of information to individual needs
◦ improved use of digital technologies will provide more
convenient, higher quality, safer and more efficient &
effective care

For patients and service users, there should be “no
decision about me, without me”
People should be involved as much as they want to be
in every decision about their care: what care they
want and how and where they want it delivered
In order for this to happen, people actually need to
be given a greater range of choices, and high quality
information to help them take greater control of their
care
Information is used routinely to support the delivery
of safe, high quality, people-centred care
