I look forward to this: "Next, we plan to propose a bottom-up structure that minimises disruption to existing functions. " - and to the comments. After all, we're not just taxpayers who ought to have a say - we all were, are and/or will be patients and thus 'consumers' of what the NHS 'produces'.

Thank you both for your tenacity.

It is just staggering what you've exposed so far and we can only hope that there are people in power who will do something with this.

So important, thanks TTE! To further understand these poorly performing organisations, the list of government and NHS organisations that do not respond to coroners' reports (i.e. break the law) can be an additional data source: https://preventabledeathstracker.net/reg-29-addressee-tracker-database/ Unsurprisingly, DHSC, NHSE and the CQC are the top 3 offenders!

When politicians speak of "reforming" the NHS, what they actually mean is "reorganise".

Be afraid! Be very afraid.

I completely understand. Government bodies/portfolios/departments/clumps are hard to disentangle. They may call themselves different things but under those names there can be a lot of half-assed duplication. One part of the problem is that Clumps wthin government define things differently (if they even have a definition at all)......like a definition for "evidence". Transparency between the Clumps (and to the public) could help but to date "governmental transparency" is an oxymoron.
