Huge moment for #NHS leadership, with NHS England to be absolished. Can understand government's desire to bring the NHS back under direct political control, but this is a huge change and a large scale NHS reorganisation. Very destabilising.

This is the end of an era for the NHS and marks the biggest reshaping of its national architecture in a decade.
