NHS England: Reorganisation

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate his Department has made of the cost to public purse of the creation and enactment of transfer schemes in connection with the abolition of the NHS England.

Answer

Any costs associated with creating and implementing transfer schemes will form part of the overall costs of the DHSC-NHSE Transformation Programme.

Further details on expenditure related to the closure of NHS England will be reported in our Annual Accounts in the normal way.

The Government expects the wider reforms, including the integration of NHS England into the Department, to deliver savings of over £1 billion a year by the end of this Parliament.
