These documents build on the government’s initial response: Patients First and Foremost, which was published in March 2013.

They explain the changes that have been put in place since the initial response was published, and set out how the whole health and care system will prioritise and build on this. Volume 2 outlines the responses to each of the 290 recommendations made by the public inquiry.
