In his keynote speech at The King's Fund in June 2008, Lord Darzi emphasised the shift towards measuring quality of care and explained how standards will be prioritised and set. He spoke about patient choice being the most important lever in driving care standards – providing patients with the right tools to make an informed choice about their care. Lord Darzi also made the case for increased accountability and the importance of greater transparency through reporting.
