49 mins

Episode Description

This week we bring you the latest in our series of HSJ Health Check podcasts tracking the development of the government’s planned Health Bill.

On this episode Dave and Annabelle are joined by Mark Dayan and Sarah Reed from the Nuffield Trust and we focus on the abolition of NHS England, drawing on research the think tank has just published.

We cover how this could be an opportunity to reset how the NHS operates within government, why the dramatic reduction in headcount could do more harm than good, and how officials could learn from historic NHS reforms.
