What is the NHS Equality Delivery System?
EDS helps NHS organisations improve services for local communities and provide better working environments, free of discrimination.
In 2022, NHS England launched a new Equality Delivery System 2022 framework. EDS 2022 is designed for both NHS commissioners and NHS providers and places a heavier focus on partnership working between ICS system partners – The LLR ICB, LPT, and UHL.
The ICB, UHL & LPT remain committed to using the EDS framework to support consistent assessment of our performance against EDS domains and promote involvement of our diverse communities.
