Equality Delivery System

The Equality Delivery System (EDS) for the NHS was made available on 29 July 2011. The NHS has been sponsored and supported by the Equality and Diversity Council (EDC) to develop the EDS for the NHS.

The purpose of the EDS is to drive up equality performance and embed equality into mainstream NHS business. It has been designed to help NHS organisations, in the current and new NHS structures, to meet :

  • the requirements of the public sector Equality Duty
  • equality aspects of the NHS Constitution
  • equality aspects of the NHS Outcomes Framework
  • equality aspects of CQC's Essential Standards
  • equality aspects of the Human Resources Transition Framework
