Kings Fund 25 October 2018
- This short piece identifies some of the main complaints about how the Health and Social Care Act 2012 operates; outlines some of the implications should attempts be made to amend it; and asks how far progress could be made within the existing legislation.
- Speaking to the Public Accounts Committee 2018 Simon Stevens has said that the question will inevitably arise as to whether there are aspects of the current legislation that, if amended, ‘would accelerate our progress’. He indicated that, once the long term plan is published, "the current intention is to produce ‘between November and Easter’ and ‘with colleagues across the NHS’ options for legislative change."
