▤ Verbatim text from source document
This review considered over 1,300 suppliers, representing 600,000 NHS products, to identify modern slavery risks and build a more ethical and reliable UK health system.
In delivering the recommendations of the review, DHSC will work in partnership with NHS England and NHS Supply Chain to:
- lay new regulations, as required by section 81 of the Health and Care Act 2022, which set standard rules for procurement of healthcare products and services
- develop a cross-government response to map supply chains to improve knowledge and identify where action must be taken
- enable NHS staff to better understand and address modern slavery risks
