NHS operating framework

NHS operating framework

The framework that delineates the specific business and financial arrangements and national priorities for the NHS, and explains how the visions set out in High Quality Care for All can be delivered with the development of Payment by Results, tariff details and the standard contract. It sets out how the stakeholders expect services to be transformed so that quality is the organising principle and patients are the arbiters of success.
