Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has conducted an equality impact assessment on the decision to abolish NHS England.
Ministers and senior Department officials will work with the new transformation team at the top of NHS England, led by Sir Jim Mackey, to lead this transformation.
As we work to return many of NHS England’s current functions to the Department, we will ensure that we continue to evaluate impacts of all kinds, including equality impacts.
