Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to strengthen the transparency and governance arrangements of the NHS Strategic Projects Team.
We are advised that NHS England is awaiting finalisation of its review of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group contract with UnitingCare LLP before considering what action might be required with regard to the Strategic Projects Team.
We understand that NHS England will not be making any commitments on any other current procurements until the review is complete and NHS England has had time to consider the findings.
