NHS England and NHS Improvement get closer

NHS England and NHS Improvement get closer NHS England and NHS Improvement are today announcing some key steps that we are taking to bring our organisations closer together.
We have one NHS: commissioners and providers in each part of the country are serving the same people, and we need to use the resources that Parliament gives the NHS to greater benefit for local patients. This requires a much stronger focus on collaboration and joint working nationally as well as in local health systems.
Subject to our boards’ approval of more detailed proposals, we will begin to establish the following working arrangements from September 2018:

  • increased integration and alignment of national programmes and activities – one team where possible
  • integration of NHS England and NHS Improvement regional teams, to be led in each case by one regional director working for both organisations, and a move to seven regional teams to underpin this new approach. NHS England
