Health and Social Care Committee: The work of NHS England
Committee hears from witnesses
The Health and Social Care Committee will take oral evidence on the work and performance of NHS England, the operational delivery arm of the health service. This scrutiny session examines how NHS England is managing the health system, delivering care, and responding to current pressures across hospitals, general practice, and community services.
NHS England sets priorities and manages day-to-day operations for 42 integrated care boards serving 56 million people. Parliamentary scrutiny of its performance is critical to accountability on waiting lists, emergency care, workforce challenges, and how the service is responding to winter and spring pressures. The findings will inform the health policy agenda during a Labour government focused on NHS reform and investment.
