Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to provide an assessment of organisational implementation of the healthcare standards focusing on the annual health check (AHC) in the UK NHS.
Design/methodology/approach
Using a postal questionnaire a national survey of all acute and specialist NHS Trusts in England was undertaken. The survey yielded a total of 102 responses, which equates to a 59 per cent response rate.
Findings
The findings suggest considerable variation and diversity in the rate of progress individual Trusts made towards implementing the AHC in its first year. However, across many of the organisations surveyed, there was good evidence of some progress towards ensuring that basic operational and strategic components of the framework were in place.
Research limitations/implications
The research appears to reflect the findings of earlier work on the implementation of clinical governance, suggesting that few lessons have been learnt from previous policy initiatives and raising important questions for the future of health care standards.
Practical implications
The findings could be used to support future national health care initiatives by giving an insight into how organisations respond to and manage the process of standards.
Originality/value
This study makes a number of recommendations to facilitate smooth implementation of standards in health care. These include the introduction of a national IT solution; development of regional/national networks; more timely, relevant and consistent national guidance and, the definition of minimum information requirements needed for organisational assurance.

Abstract
Since 1948 the Health Service has been a subject of policy on which Labour has consistently rated higher than the Tories in public opinion. But the standard of care within the National Health Service is seen as falling. What difference will the new plan make? There are undoubted good intentions, but also the potential for confusion as commissioning and service delivery are put in the structural mixer once again.
