Answer
On 13 March 2025, the Prime Minister announced that NHS England will be brought back into the Department to form a new joint centre. Work is progressing at pace to develop the design and operating model for the new integrated organisation, and to plan for the smooth transfer of people, functions and responsibilities.
National Health Service trusts are not in scope of this programme, but it is only right that with such significant reform that we commit to assessing and understanding the potential impacts carefully, as is due process, including the impacts on NHS trusts. Ongoing assessments will inform our programme as appropriate.
