At its monthly board meeting on Thursday, NHS England published proposals which, if taken forward by ministers – who are supportive – would unwind and dismantle large parts of the shake-up instigated by Andrew Lansley, who from 2010 to 2012 was the coalition government’s health secretary.
Theresa May has acknowledged that the 2012 act – widely considered to be the most damaging ever to affect the NHS – is hindering efforts to modernise the health service in England’s drive to provide better care through integration of key services.
Acknowledging that the regulations have wasted NHS time and resources for years, it added that: “Current procurement legislation can lead to protracted procurement processes and wasteful legal and administration costs in cases where there is a strong rationale for services to be provided by NHS organisations, for instance to secure integration with existing NHS services.”
Politics aside this is something that all parties can agree to, hope this passes.
