Elective Recovery Taskforce
The Elective Recovery Taskforce was set up to inform the Department of Health and Social Care’s work to better utilise healthcare capacity across the country to tackle the backlog caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Purpose
The group was launched on 7 December 2022 and brings together government departments with a broad range of organisations, including representatives from across the National Health Service, independent service providers, and patient representatives.
The group will:
-
inform the government’s understanding of current independent sector provider and NHS working practices
-
provide steers on specific issues or themes to investigate which can tackle the backlog
-
shape proposals for how the healthcare system can make use of all resources at its disposal, further tackling the backlog caused by the COVID-19 pandemic
The group will conclude its work in March 2023.
