The biggest quango in the world is to be scrapped. That is how the government unveiled the move to bring NHS England, which runs much of the health service in the country, back under the control of the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC).

Keir Starmer has just scrapped NHS England – but what does that mean and how will it impact you? Here’s what you need to know. NHS England is known as a “quango”, meaning it is an non-departmental public body which operates independently of government.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has confirmed a huge overhaul of healthcare in the United Kingdom after announcing that NHS England is set to be abolished in the near future. The PM made the revolutionary move this morning (13 March) in an announcement live on television with an audience surrounding him in Hull.
