The Operating Framework for the NHS in England 2012/13 published on 24 November 2011 sets out the business and planning arrangements for the NHS. It describes the national priorities, system levers and enablers needed for NHS organisations to maintain and improve the quality of services provided, while delivering transformational change and maintaining financial stability.
It also sets out the practical steps that need to be taken to carry the NHS through a strong and stable transition over the next year, maintaining high quality standards and financial grip, as we move towards the new modernised system envisaged in Liberating the NHS.

Technical Guidance for 2011/12 operating framework was published in Dec 2010. Will you be publishing this technical guidance for 2012/13?
Thank you
Hi Theingi,
We will. This is set out in the last section of the NHS Operating Framework for 2012/13, which deals with planning and accountability arrangements.
All best,
NHS Finance, Performance and Operations
