We are putting in place a robust package of reforms to help tackle the National Health Service crisis. There will be no more rewards for failure. This includes a comprehensive review of NHS performance across the entire country, with providers to be placed into a league table. This will be made public and regularly updated to ensure transparency for the public, and a clear basis for addressing failure. We expect this will include a range of metrics looking at both providers and systems, and further detail will be set out at the earliest opportunity.
