The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answers of 21 March 2025 to Question 38389 on NHS England and Question 38390 on NHS England: Redundancy Pay, what the short-term upfront costs of integrating NHS England and his Department will be.

Answered by Karin Smyth

As we work to return many of NHS England’s current functions to the Department, we will ensure that we continue to evaluate impacts of all kinds, and will consider carefully how any information is published. At this stage it is too early to say what the upfront costs of integration are, including any redundancy, while we are scoping the programme.
