NHS England reorganisation: senior sector figures share their views with MPs
The Health and Social Care Select Committee will question senior figures from across the health sector on their views on the Government’s plans to abolish NHS England and merge it with the Department of Health and Social Care, in an evidence session at 9.30am on Wednesday 26 March.
Meeting details
In a three-panel session, the Committee will probe what the risks and opportunities of the announced changes may be, hearing perspectives on patient safety, workforce, and broader implications for the health service.
MPs will ask what lessons the Department might be able to learn from previous attempts at restructuring in the health service, how the reorganisation of NHSE is likely to impact staff morale and how the Government can ensure that staff are able to stay focused on delivering services and the Government’s wider plans to recover the NHS, rather than being distracted by structural change.
The session on Tuesday comes ahead of the Committee questioning the Health and Social Care Secretary, the Rt Hon Wes Streeting MP, on the detail of the announced changes, in a hearing on 8 April.
