NHS England
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the abolition of NHS England on the structure of his Department.
Answered by Karin Smyth
Work is progressing at pace to develop the design and operating model for the new integrated organisation, including a plan for the smooth transfer of people, functions and responsibilities. Given the scale and significance of the reforms, the Government is committed to carefully assessing and understanding the potential impacts, as is due process. This includes the impacts relating to the future structure of the Department. These ongoing assessments will inform the ongoing work of the programme.
A full impact assessment will be published alongside the primary legislation.
