NHS: Redundancy
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how the cost of redundancies during the NHS restructure will be met.
Answered by Karin Smyth
Following the Prime Minister’s announcement of the abolition of NHS England, we are clear on the need for a smaller centre, as well as scaling back integrated care board running costs and National Health Service provider corporate costs reductions in order to reduce waste and bureaucracy. Good progress is being made with the Department and NHS England having announced voluntary exit or redundancy schemes.
Provision for redundancy costs will be considered alongside the multi-year planning round.
