NHS England faces a major overhaul, resulting in an expected 20,000 to 30,000 job losses and potential redundancy payouts of up to 1 billion. Following the abolition of NHS England, a significant portion of staff roles in integrated care boards and trusts are also at risk. The department has seen considerable redundancy costs over the past five years, leading Labour to critique these expenditures as a misuse of public funds. Health experts express concern that these changes may hinder the development of a cohesive 10-year health plan amid ongoing structural adjustments.
An analysis of recent Department of Health accounts shows that redundancy payouts could cost between 700m and 1.2bn as NHS undergoes major restructuring.
The scrapping of NHS England, which Labour terms as the world's largest quango, is considered a significant disruption to developing a new long-term health plan.
