NHS England
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to maintain (a) transparency and (b) accountability in NHS operations after the abolition of NHS England.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The announcement to bring NHS England into the Department and create a new joint centre will allow the national centre to operate very differently to the current arrangements. The change will drive our reform agenda by removing layers of bureaucracy and empowering leaders within the service, and will end the duplication of work across the organisations. We are committed to transparency throughout this process.
