The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the abolition of NHS England will impact the (a) role and (b) structure of the Getting It Right First Time programme.

Answered by Karin Smyth

Ministers and senior Departmental officials will work with the new executive team at the top of NHS England, led by Sir Jim Mackey, to lead this transformation.

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 work collaboratively to put plans in place to ensure continuity of care and that there are no risks to patient safety.
