NHS Mandate Caps Co-Payment Prices, Protecting Vulnerable Patients
The document "My response to the NHS consultation" suggests that the NHS mandate needs to include a promise that co-payment prices won't increase more than inflation. This request comes from noticing that this commitment was absent in previous versions of the mandate. The author emphasizes the importance of ensuring that co-payment costs remain affordable and don't outpace the general rise in prices. It's pointed out that this consideration should be included in the final version of the mandate to NHS England.
