Halt NHSE, CSU & ICB closures until government publishes: impact assessment on service continuity, cost-benefit analysis proving genuine savings, evidence the 10 Year Health Plan is deliverable with reduced workforce, & transition plans for services supporting NHS trusts and GPs

Up to 18k NHS staff face redundancy with no published impact assessment or cost-benefit analysis. When private companies propose mass layoffs, government intervenes - why not with the NHS? Before potentially losing expertise needed to deliver the 10 Year Health Plan, the Government needs to prove benefits to patients not consultancies and real savings. The Government risks a loss of knowledge that consultancies will cost far more to replace. We demand transparency before possibly irreversible damage takes place.

Government response

Initial impact assessment shows proposed cuts will deliver £1bn per annum in savings that can be channelled to the frontline. We cannot deliver NHS reform without a more efficient, streamlined centre.
