Baroness in Waiting/Government Whip (Baroness Blake of Leeds) (Lab)
My Lords, I am very conscious that a number of noble Lords want to get in. Can all keep their questions brief? I will take the Liberal Democrat contribution first and then Labour.
Baroness Tyler of Enfield (LD)
My Lords, I will be brief. With such a strong emphasis in the Statement on reducing duplication and bureaucracy, can the Minister say what consideration is being given to fusing NHS England’s regional offices with the remaining ICBs that come within their geographical area? It strikes me that there is scope for savings there.
