The Department of Health and Social Care just published data on how much its quangos spend on staff.
It's interesting to look at spend per full time employee. Most expensive is MHRA then NHSE, least spent per full time employee is CQC and NHS BSA

There are many changes afoot to the way the NHS is organised. Alongside the NHSE abolition, ICBs - the organisations around which local service provision is commissioned - are facing huge cuts and existential questions. What does it all mean? I asked my expert colleagues here: shorturl.at/1LSQX
Integrated Care Board Cuts – What Does It All Mean? | The King's Fund
A seismic shift or a trivial tweak? We asked our policy experts how the cuts to integrated care board running costs might play out in reality.

Every time I see this graph on poverty trends by group over time, it always strikes me that it is possible to change a group's poverty outcomes - just look at how pension poverty fell in the 1990s and early 2000s
Child poverty outcomes in the UK are poor when compared across multiple fronts, be it other age
groups, other decades, or other countries.
Children are much more likely than adults to be in relative poverty in the UK.

Latest labour market data from ONS today shows 2.83 mn people economically inactive due to long term ill health -second highest level ever.
But like the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee who reported yesterday I'm skeptical that bringing down NHS waiting lists will help much... 1/

It blows my mind that in many parts of the country healthy life expectancy is below state pension age. Depressing but important analysis from @jamie-ohalloran.bsky.social @ippr.bsky.social

When it comes to the number of ‘good years’ we can expect to live there’s a huge discrepancy across the UK – are you in a health black spot?

Is the NHS' elective recovery plan achievable?
If NHS leaders throw everything at it, it might just be achievable, but doing so will leave them little energy or resources for anything else.
