So as a colleague of mine pointed out – there may be some long-germinating ideas or principles guiding these decisions, but it is hard to believe that this is a long-germinating plan that is being slowly revealed as spring approaches. NHS England had only just finished a protracted and fraught round of 7,000 job cuts before reports emerged in January of a further 2,000 job cuts, before the very recent announcements of the workforce being halved. And ICSs were already enacting their 30 per cent reduction in running costs before the recent news of a further cut to these budgets. If anything, this feels like a plan that is being developed moment to moment. Within nine months of a new government, we have already had one operational reset – which saw the 18-week target established as the government’s key health milestone. We have a financial reset coming – with local NHS leaders summoned to help find ways of closing next year’s financial deficit. And we now have a structural reset of national and local bodies. It is hard to build momentum when you keep pressing the reset button. So then, questions, questions, questions. Creating and destroying England biggest quango is something so time-consuming and significant in health care policy that you’d only want to do it once. And you’d want the juice to be worth the squeeze. This government has certainly started something. But I don’t know how this is all meant to end. And more worryingly, I’m not sure who does. https://www.kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-analysis/blogs/reshaping-nhs-national-bodies-started-finish

‘Today's announcement lands on the same day that NHS stats show people continue to wait days in A&E and many patients remain stuck in hospital beds despite being well enough to leave. The most important question is how will the abolition of NHS England make it easier for people to get a GP appointment, shorten waits for planned care, and improve people's health? That hasn't yet been set out - ministers will need to explain how the prize will be worth the price.’ Sarah Woolnough CEO, The King's Fund 7 A

9mago 15.03 GMT Leading health thinktanks say, while they can see case for abolishing NHS England, benefits for patients might be modest Two of the leading health thinktanks in the UK have said that, while they can see the case for abolishing NHS England, the benefits for patients might be modest In a statement, Sarah Woolnough, chief executive of the King’s Fund, said: 44 Today’s announcement lands on the same day that NHS stats show people continue to wait days in A&E and many patients remain stuck in hospital beds despite being well enough to leave. The most important question is how will the abolition of NHS England make it easier for people to get a GP appointment, shorten waits for planned care and improve people’s health? That hasn’t yet been set out - ministers will need to explain how the prize will be worth the price.
It is absolutely right that democratically elected politicians must have clear oversight of how the NHS delivers for patients and spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money. It is also reasonable to want to deliver better value by reducing duplication and waste between two national bodies where they are performing a similar role. It is true that over its just over a decade of existence, NHS England has been asked to take on a lot more additional power, functions and therefore staff; than it was originally designed to do. Having now made the decision to abolish NHS England, and while we still wait for the publication of the NHS 10 Year Plan, the government must be clear why this significant structural change at this time is necessary, and how it fits into their wider plans. The potential cost savings would be minimal in the context of the entire NHS budget, and so they must ensure that the changes produce the improved effectiveness which is sought by making this change.
And Thea Stein, chief executive of the Nuffield Trust, said: 44 Today’s news will be devastating for staff at all levels of NHS England, and we must remain mindful of the human cost of this decision. With the public finances under extraordinary pressure it does, however, make sense to remove the duplication and bureaucracy that exists currently - and patients and the public are probably not going to shed many tears over the shifting of power from an arm’s-length body into central government. But profound problems facing the NHS remain: how to meet growing patient need in the face of spiralling waiting lists and how to invest in care closer to home with the NHS’s wider finances already underwater and social care reform in the long grass. It is not immediately clear that rearranging the locus of the power at the top will make a huge and immediate difference to these issues, which ultimately will be how patients and the public judge the government.
