NHS England

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 17 April 2025 to Question 44000 on NHS England, what criteria his Department is using to assess and understand the potential impact of the abolition of NHS England on healthcare delivery.

Answered by Karin Smyth

It is only right that with such significant reform, we commit to carefully assessing and understanding the potential impacts, as is due process. Evidence from these ongoing assessments will inform our programme as appropriate, and will ensure our decisions focus on improving patient care.

When appropriate, we will update Parliament on progress with the plans for the organisational changes.
