Open consultation: Updating the NHS Constitution

The NHS Constitution sets out:

This consultation proposes to amend the NHS Constitution to respond to recommendations made by Sir Robert Francis QC and to:
give greater prominence to mental health
reflect the importance of access to transparent and comparable data
include the Armed Forces Covenant
reflect the new fundamental standards in April 2015
