title: Out for consultation.
abstract: Service-user information NHS England is developing a new 'accessible information standard' to ensure that people understand information given to them about their health and care. All organisations will need to find out if patients have extra communication needs because of a disability or sensory loss, and take steps to meet these needs by, for example, providing documents in large print and Braille or via a British Sign Language interpreter. They will also be obliged to record, update through re-assessment and share this information. The document and response form are available at tinyurl.com/ny2pcbx until November 9.
