Department of Health
This page contains information about grants from the Department of Health.
The Department of Health's purpose is to support the government to improve the health and well being of the population.
Our 5000 staff are responsible for driving forward change and modernisation in the NHS and social care, as well as improving standards of public health.
The Department's work is far reaching - ranging from setting national standards on waiting and emergency care, for example, to promoting healthier lifestyles and living.
Our work is centred in Leeds and London, following recent plans to move staff from offices in Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Nottingham and Sheffield.
We have recently embarked on a major Change Programme, designed to ensure we provide more effective leadership to the NHS and social care, and a better service to Ministers and the public in our role as a leading government Department.
The changes will be far-reaching, affecting everything we do in the Department.
As a result, our role will focus on:
- setting overall direction and leading transformation of the NHS and social care.
- setting national standards to enhance quality of services.
- securing resources and making major investment decisions to ensure that the NHS and social care have the capacity to deliver.
- working with key partners to ensure quality of services, such as:
- Strategic Health Authorities, who will become the local headquarters of the NHS.
- The Commission for Healthcare Audit and Improvement (CHAI) and the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI), new independent bodies.
- The NHS Modernisation Agency and the Social Care Institute for Excellence to identify and spread best practice locally.
