Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether she has made an estimate of the financial impact of moving the Health Services Safety Investigation Body functions into the Care Quality Commission, beyond the recurrent pay savings and the transition costs for digital, data and technology identified in the ‘Health Bill: patient safety measures - impact assessments’.

I refer the Rt. Hon. Member to the impact assessment published alongside the Health Bill, which is available at the following link:
