NHS England Update

Contribution

Over the next two years, NHS England will be brought into the department entirely. These reforms will deliver a much leaner top of the NHS, making significant savings of hundreds of millions of pounds a year. That money will flow down to the front line, to cut waiting times faster and deliver our plan for change. By slashing through the layers of red tape and ending the infantilisation of front-line NHS leaders, we will set local NHS providers free to innovate, develop new and productive ways of working, and focus on what matters most: delivering better care for patients.
