Department of Health and Social Care: Public Bodies
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to abolish (a) Primary Care Support England and (b) any other NHS organisations, in the context of the abolition of NHS England.
Answered by Karin Smyth
Work is progressing at pace to map functions, appraise options, and inform decision making on where NHS England’s functions will best sit.
There are important choices to be made, and ministers and senior Department officials will work with the new executive team in NHS England, led by Sir Jim Mackey, to ensure the new joint centre will operate more efficiently, cut out unnecessary bureaucracy, and empower those working on the frontline.
In taking forward the work, we will ensure that we continue to evaluate impacts of all kinds.
