Independent NHS, Simpler Quangos

Independent NHS, Simpler Quangos A new report out by the TaxPayers’ Alliance shows that the NHS could save nearly £800 million by merging various NHS management bodies.

The report advocates reducing the number of quangos from 19 to 7:

• This would save approximately £760 million.
• This would also release top managerial time to improve efficiencies in the system.
• And granting more independence to NHS England would free it from meddling politicians.
• Savings to the Department of Health could save a further £40 million.
