Reed explained this review of NHS services will replace an ‘interim’ set of rules set up in 2013. The GIRES co-founder said two previous attempts to replace the ‘interim protocols’ have already stalled.

With the 90 day consultation period, he hopes many more voices will contribute.
‘It’s good the NHS is listening, but now we need to go through the document line by line‘.
However, Reed did say that his initial reactions were positive.
‘They are definitely an improvement over what was in place before, but closer scrutiny will throw up outstanding issues‘.
