Performers list review
-
Last modified date:16 May 2008
-
Gateway reference:8201
In May 2007 the Department issued a call for ideas inviting comments on the future shape of the Performers List system.
We want to have a system that is consistent with the description of regulation in the introduction to Trust, Assurance and Safety:
"Professional regulation must create a framework that maintains the justified confidence of patients in those who care for them as the bedrock of safe and effective clinical practice and the foundation for effective relationships between patients and health professionals."
Working group meetings
The working group on the review of the performers list system had its inaugural meeting on 18 July 2007. Its terms of reference together with a covering letter setting out the proposed of work for the group's remaining meetings are below . The final meeting of the group was held on 22 January. The minutes of the first five working group meetings have now been published, with the sixth to follow soon.

Call for ideas
In the White Paper, Trust, Assurance and Safety – the Regulation of Health Professionals in the 21st Century, we said that we would be undertaking a review of the Performers List system. The review document sought views of Chief Executives of PCTs and stakeholders about the future shape of the Performers List system. We are interested in the views of Chief Executives of PCTs on this subject, although we will also consider evidence from others who wish to contribute to the review. Responses were sought by 15 June 2007.
There were sixty six institutional responses and one from an individual GP. The majority of respondents have agreed that their responses should be published. We have attached those responses and also a summary of the key issues raised.
