Changes to the NHS and public health in England
Last year, the Westminster Government began
the process to make significant changes to the NHS and public
health in England.
In April 2011, the Government called a pause
midway through the process of making these changes law, to conduct
a Listening Exercise and hear what the public and
professionals think. You can read
our submission and you can find out more about our involvement in the Listening Exercise.
Following the Listening Exercise, the Government has announced
changes to their proposals - you can read more about our response to this.

proposed. If you would like more detail please read our responses
