Starmer<\/strong> is now summarising some of the measures in the elective reform plan.<\/p>\n Here is the summary from the news release.<\/p>\n Further measures include:<\/p>\n Using the NHS app to give patients greater choice and control over their treatment. This includes making sure patients can get better access to information via the app, such as the details of their appointments, results and waiting times, and use it to book appointments in the location of their choice, with information about waiting times and patient satisfaction.<\/p>\n It\u2019s about a shift in the balance of power away from passive deference to doctors and towards patients being able to get that second opinion, play a greater role in deciding their care and their treatment.<\/p>\n The early results of Martha\u2019s rule are in, lives of some of the sickest patients in our care transformed, extended and saved and so it\u2019s a rule that\u2019s now being recognised as potentially groundbreaking in its innovation.<\/p>\n
