Answer from Hansard

The Minister for Secondary Care (Karin Smyth)

We are putting the final nail in the coffin of the hon. Member’s party’s disastrous Lansley 2012 reorganisation—so bad that it made me become an MP. We are abolishing the world’s biggest quango, NHS England, along with 200 other bodies. The question is: why did the Conservatives not do that when they had the chance?
