The instrument requires us to specify the date when a new standard takes effect. NHS England is currently assessing which information standard will be the first to be mandated under the new legislative powers, including reviewing candidate information standards from the existing pipeline to determine which best align with priority use cases, and to ensure that they meet the requirements of the legislation and that there is appropriate capacity to manage the required changes, ensuring a frictionless transition from the existing information standard system to the new process for introducing mandatory information standards. The regulations which will commence Section 95 of the Health and Care Act 2022 allow for information standards made under the existing system to continue to have effect until these have been revoked, expired or gone through the procedures in these regulations to become mandatory.
