Scrapping NHS England

Meeting NHS frontline workers.

This government is focused on fixing the NHS to ensure it works better for everyone. Part of this effort includes removing the administrative body, NHS England. Layers of bureaucracy have slowed progress and hindered meaningful change in how healthcare is delivered.

By transferring NHS England's functions to the Department of Health and Social Care, we aim to streamline operations, cut red tape, and redirect resources to the frontline staff—doctors and nurses—who provide care in our hospitals.

This transition, expected to take about two years, is a step toward making the NHS more focused on delivering care to patients rather than on administrative processes
