Tldr, “nhs england” the quango responsible for some nhs related admin is being abolished, and the work transferred directly to the department of health (it’s only existed since 2013 anyway). I can’t remember what it is they do exactly and the article doesn’t say.
Edit to add, in case anyone’s b interested.
> “50 per cent reduction”. It said there is a push for voluntary redundancies and that the roles will be cut from mid-March 2026.
Surprised they aren’t being transferred to the department of health.
Oh-Its-Him- on
Not just NHS England, it’s also every ICB across the country. Pretty significant job losses on the way for a whole sector of clinical and non-clinical support staff in the NHS – surprises me that this gets so little attention from the press, but for years “middle managers” in the NHS have been vilified. This will probably be met with glee by some parts of society.

NHS England is supposedly useless?! Jobs lost, which isn’t great. Should it not be more of a restructuring of the Department of Health, maybe moving staff into better roles??

My first question is what does “NHS England” do?
Is it directly involved in any way with patient care?
Apparently not, “It was responsible for the day-to-day running of the health service, including planning, funding, and overseeing frontline services like GPs and hospitals.”
Seems important though from the AI description above.
Or not..

I had heard that this was put on pause because they didn’t have a budget for the redundancy payouts. NHS redundancy is a month net salary for every year in continuous service.
Some people are probably going to be too expensive to make redundant.

NHS performance, on every measure, has got worse, year-on-year, since the creation of NHS England and all its bureaucracy.
Good riddance.

it truly is amazing the lack of media coverage for this
Even now theres nothing on BBC News on it despite this taking away many thousands of jobs. This has dragged on for many months too. Not just cuts, but whole organisations being wiped out. But no, most news streams seem to sweep any mention of cuts under a lot of technical mumbo jumbo from the one article I did see a few months ago on the BBC, that effectively noone can really be bothered to read and understand it.
If it had nurses or doctors in it however, it would be all over as the main headlines!!
