NHS England chair warns the buck stops with ministers

The NHS England president said he disagreed with the abolition of the group’s rule – although he warned that the money would now stop with ministers.
“There is no longer a single vehicle to point out that this is wrong,” Richard Meddings told BBC Radio 4’s The World this weekend.
Earlier this week, the government confirmed that the Ministry of Health and Social Care would swallow up the administrative bodies. It will not affect patient care in hospitals, GP practices and other health organizations It will change the way NHS operates.
Mr. Medins, who will resign at the end of this month, acknowledged that ministers wanted to participate in the NHS operation but believed there were subtle forms of micromanagement.
“Sometimes, sometimes in a few weeks, nearly 20 new instructions, governments and ministers enter the system’s committees,” he said.
He also defended Quangos’ idea – a term used to describe government publicly funded organizations. “I have worked with six state secretaries and have made a radical change to the minister. So there is an argument that can distinguish the delivery tool from the government.”
The advantage, he said, is that “it involves the relevant expertise on a particular topic stably. The difference in the political world is that… they do not necessarily have relevant experiences to operate and oversee these areas.”
He believes that changes in NHS organizations are not helpful in changing the basic health of the population: “The NHS deals with anyone or anyone who passes the door in any situation. Many conditions in poor health are driven by factors outside the NHS.”
The debate over the reorganization erupted when Mr. Meddings filed a case for the defense.
A arranged source believes that NHS England leaders have the opportunity to rebuild their relationship with the government after the election, but do not do so because of “overly suspicious of politicians”.

Sources said the organization has become a bureaucratic “intellectual stagnation” with a “not right” to health services and ministers.
Ministers believe that as the transfer of NHS England to the Ministry of Health will cut around 9,000 jobs, which will provide resources for frontline services, which may reach up to £500 million a year. They say there are two organizations that often replicate work, resulting in wasted time and unnecessary costs.
However, an NHS source noted that the government claimed that the decline on the list of total waits since the election, the number of appointments and actions increased by $2 million year-on-year – providing performance on NHS England’s watches.
The same source pointed out that “with hospitals going bankrupt, the new leadership structure will not make it easier to operate and care for patients”.
These are huge structural changes led by the NHS and Health Authority in England. But they will take time to implement it.
Moving two large organizations to one and implementing 9,000 layoffs would take up a lot of management time and warn that services from day-to-day running can be distracting. The patient has not seen much difference for a while.
