More information about the proposed NHS Constitution

The proposed NHS Constitution establishes the principles and values of the NHS in England. It sets out commitments to patients, public and staff in the form of rights to which they are entitled, along with pledges which the NHS will strive to deliver.

All NHS bodies and private and third sector providers supplying NHS services will be required by law to take account of this Constitution in their decisions and actions.
