As a former NHS England employee I can see the merit in scrapping it. I do feel for staff though. I remember when we all found out about merger of NHSE, HEE, & NHS Digital and planned job cuts via the HSJ leak. I doubt staff had much, if any, warning before the BBC News alert pinged on their phones

I really do think headlines like this should be doing a lot more to explain what the organisation 'NHS England' actually is and that this isn't Keir Starmer scrapping the NHS in England (which is the impression it kind of gives people!)
