Health Secretary Andrew Lansley ahs said that the NHS in England will be measures for their quality in terms of patient experience.

The latest NHS "Outcomes Framework" will be based on surveys of patients. He also said that the patients will be asked if the service and experience in the hospital was good or bad. He also said that the new framework aims to measure the "responsiveness" of staff to patient requirements while they were in hospital.

Mr Lansley said: "We have to clear the decks and be clear this is what we are focusing on. People say, 'In three and a half years' time, in 2015, at the next election, how will we know whether you've succeeded or not?' The answer is, 'Have the outcomes improved?'

The new plan is part of the NHS’s efforts to improve UK’s strength in life sciences and use of innovative medicine. The health body will also launch new incentives to boost use of drugs and treatments that have proved to show better results. The new initiatives will also look at address silos between budgets that bar new approaches.

British Prime Minister David Cameron had announced the new measures on Tuesday aimed at boosting research and development of new medicines in the UK with the help of collaboration of the NHS.

Cameron said that “a massive missed opportunity out of kilter with the whole spirit of the NHS”, and pledged to “take the best of the NHS to remedy the worst.” He was speaking at a Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology conference in London.
