Mr Thomas:
The Government are committed to the provision of high quality, safe neonatal services founded on evidence-based good practice and outcomes. We have made ‘reducing deaths in babies and young children’ and ‘improving the safety of maternity services’ areas for improvement in the NHS Outcomes Framework for 2012-13.
To assist national health service commissioners and providers in the delivery of safe, high quality neonatal services, the Department published the evidence based “Toolkit for High Quality Neonatal Services” in 2009.

The Toolkit is supported by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence's “Quality Standard for specialist neonatal care” published in 2010.

The NHS Commissioning Board will be held to account for its performance against outcomes in the NHS Outcomes Framework. By focusing on outcomes, the Government will hold the board to account for improved services for premature and sick babies, but allow clinicians the freedom to design services that are most effective for achieving better care.
