Newsflash- The mandate should come from the people: National Voices in today's HSJ

12 April 2012

Dear Colleague,

See today’s Health Service Journal (HSJ) for an incisive opinion piece on the Mandate to the NHS Commissioning Board by National Voices’ Don Redding. The article gets a mention in editor Alistair McLellan’s leader piece as well as a front cover push. If you don’t subscribe to the HSJ you can view the article here.

Also attached is a letter to Andrew Lansley from National Voices’ Jeremy Taylor on concerns about the new 111 service. In it Jeremy underlines links with NV members’ interests in information, support for self management and better out of hospital care.

Best wishes,

Jules Acton
Director of Engagment & Membership
