Patients
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that patient experience findings are published.
Answered by Preet Kaur Gill
The findings from a range of patient experience surveys undertaken or commissioned by NHS England and the Care Quality Commission are published nationally, including the GP Patient Survey, the Adult Inpatient Survey, the National Cancer Patient Experience Survey, and the Urgent and Emergency Care Survey. Further data releases will be published in line with each survey’s schedule.
The surveys are available at the following links respectively:

The Elective Reform Plan committed to engaging with patients and carers to publish a set of minimum standards that patients can expect to experience whilst waiting for elective care, informed by patients, carers, and their representatives. These minimum standards will be published in due course.
