Monitor
Monitor, an executive non-departmental public body of the Department of Health, is the sector regulator for health services in England, responsible for making sure that the health sector works better for patients.

 

 

Responsibilities

Within England, we make sure:

  • independent NHS foundation trusts are well-led so that they can provide quality care on a sustainable basis
  • essential services are maintained if a provider gets into serious difficulties
  • the NHS payment system promotes quality and efficiency
  • procurement, choice and competition operate in the best interests of patients

We are committed to preserving the values of the NHS as a universal health service, free at the point of use, as set out in the NHS Constitution.

You can find out more in our strategy or by reading our leaflet.

Further information is available in our collection of documents for NHS patients.

Who we work with

We work with partners such as the Care Quality Commission, NHS Trust Development Authority and NHS England to make sure our efforts are complementary.

We work closely with our partners because we can do a better job for patients that way. We regularly share information with our partners and work together to address problems with care when needed.

We work particularly closely with:

  • the Care Quality Commission (CQC) - our partnership agreement
  • NHS England - our partnership agreement
  • the NHS Trust Development Authority - our partnership agreement
  • Healthwatch England
  • the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)
  • the National Quality Board
  • the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)
