revealed that nhs managers who don't improve patient care will be sacked. he told the conference of nhs trusts in liverpool that they could be no more rewards forfailure. we more rewards for failure. we need to more rewards for failure. - need to design services around people, particularly people with long—term conditions who are to offer past from pillar to post, one service to another. fragmentation needs to give way to integration and out into the job of integrated care boards. weather providers, nhs trusts or mental health community or acutes to get on with thejob and community or acutes to get on with the job and include front line services for patients, including... 0verthe line services for patients, including... over the past decade, providerfreedoms have been curtailed, i see that as a retrograde step. starting with the best performing trust, provider should be greater freedom and flexibility to innovate on community services and manager their own house to

meet the needs of the patients. i want to go further and faster than my predecessors did. 0ur long—term ambition is that all providers should enjoy the same freedoms as foundation trusts, so long as they deliver improved performance. and critically, those icbs that perform best particular neighbourhood services should also enjoy greater freedom and flexibility. we will no longer treat all providers and icbs as they are providing equally when you and i know it is a mixed ability class. 0r assess systems against a set of criteria and publish the results from the start of next year. though systems and providers in the middle of the pack will get support to improve to bring them to where the best are now. those icbs and providers that are doing well will be rewarded with greater freedoms on how to spend their capital with fewer ring fences, for example. those that best demonstrate financial

management will get a share of capital allocation. we want to move to a system where freedom is the norm and central grip is the exception to challenge poor performance. improving services for patients should be rewarded and the quid pro quo will there would be no more reward to failure. the work you do couldn't be more serious, when you get it right, lives are saved, when you don't, the consequences could be tragic. when performance dips, i reserve the right to take those freedoms away and those judged to be persistently failing, we will act from going from zero consequences to failure to zero tolerance. 0ur consequences to failure to zero tolerance. our new pay framework for a very serious managers which i know have been long—awaited in the system will be published ahead of the next financial year and will set out substantial reforms. it will drive consistency, increase transparency and limit the pay inflation while giving sufficient flexibility to attract talented candidates to the most challenging roles and providers. it will also ensure

that those who are in charge of organisations that persistently failed to provide decent care orfailed to keep failed to provide decent care or failed to keep a failed to provide decent care orfailed to keep a grip on their finances, orfailed to keep a grip on theirfinances, do not receive annual pay uplifts. failure to have appropriate regard to the framework will be considered a governance issue and therefore be backed by the full range of regulatory at nhs disposable. wes streeting speaking and the last couple of hours in liverpool to a conference of nhs providers, the nhs trusts in england, about those plans for the nhs. let's show you inside the commons chamber. prime minister's questions coming up in about three minutes' time. we expect it is currently women and equalities questions. the prime minister and kemi badenoch preparing to face off today. another round of prime minister's questions and it is kemi badenoch�*s second pm tos as tory party leader. a lot has happened in the last ten days or so. she
