Equality & Diversity

NHS QIS is committed to equality and diversity. This document, and the research on which it is based, have been assessed for any likely impact on the six equality groups defined by age, gender, race/ethnicity, religion/faith, disability and sexual orientation.

Delivery Plan 2008/09 – 2010/11

In line with the guidance, we have prepared the plan based on a three year timeframe (2008/09 – 2010/11). Most of our 2008/09 commitments are projects that are already underway: the second and third years in the Plan should be regarded as provisional, apart from certain commitments such as the development of CHD standards.
