The Department of Health is committed to improving the quality and convenience of care provided by the NHS and social services: the Department provides strategic leadership to the NHS and social care organisations in England.
Its work includes setting national standards, shaping the direction of health and social care services and promoting healthier living.
DH policies are designed to improve on existing arrangements in health and social care, and turn political vision into actions that should benefit staff, patients and the public.
The National Quality Board (NQB) is a multi-stakeholder board established to champion quality and ensure alignment in quality throughout the NHS. The Board is a key aspect of the work of the Department of Health to deliver high quality care for patients.
