Set up by the cross-party Health and Social Care Committee, the panel will pilot a new evaluation system that will give Care Quality Commission-style ratings on the government鈥檚 performance in meeting policy commitments, grading them from 鈥渋nadequate鈥� to 鈥渙utstanding鈥�.

The independent and objective evaluation is designed to enhance the select Committee鈥檚 core task of holding the government and ministers to account. The panel鈥檚 findings are expected to feed into on-going inquiries carried out by the Committee and be complementary to its work. 听听

Launched today (Wednesday 5 August) the independent panel, which includes policy specialists, clinical experts and patients, will first examine progress against targets in maternity services. The Committee say this is an area where evaluation is expected to be of particular value. 听

The panel鈥檚 Chair, Dame Jane, who is Professor of Medical Education at 香港六合彩, said: 鈥淚 am delighted to work with the Health and Social Care Committee to develop a robust and independent process to evaluate government pledges.鈥�

Chair of the Health and Social Care Committee, Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt MP, said: 鈥淲e are piloting a new CQC-style ratings system to provide an expert independent assessment of the government鈥檚 record听on key pledges. This will鈥痬ean the government鈥痠s鈥痟eld to鈥痑ccount by an evaluation process similar to that used across the NHS and social care system which gives not鈥痡ust an absolute score but key pointers as to how to鈥痠mprove that score next time round.听听We hope it will focus attention on areas such as cancer, mental health and patient safety where a number of vital commitments have been made.鈥澨�

In addition to Dame Jane, two further experts will be recruited to the core membership, joined by up to six additional members co-opted for their expertise in the area being examined including service users, clinicians and policy experts or campaigners.

With an agreed a list of commitments in the chosen topic area, the panel will issue an open call for written submissions specifically addressing the question of the extent to which the chosen targets have been met. The government will be invited to provide its own evidence of achievement or progress towards the chosen targets.

The panel will produce a report with a rating against each chosen target, using the scale used by the Care Quality Commission - Outstanding/Good/Requires Improvement/Inadequate. It will also make an overall rating of the government's progress towards its commitments in the chosen policy area. 听
