Joanne and others
The Dept Health commissioned an extensive review of language and
interpretation services with a view to (I think) recommending common
standards some time last year but i am afraid i do not know whether a
report has been published or not.
Also i believe the London Health Commission has a strong interest in
this and may also have done some work but again not sure how far they
have got.
Sorry to be so vague
Anyone else know more ?

any national and local reviews of
interpretation provision ?. If yes please forward details.
Thanks
