Commission puts health devolution back on political agenda

The MJ reported that a new cross-party Health Devolution Commission launched on Monday is calling for the devolution of health and social care service

The Commission, which has been backed by five former health ministers and senior healthcare professionals, will examine if a new model of devolved decision-making is needed to help tackle the increasing demand on the NHS.

The Commission will also explore how the challenges of accountability, power and control between the NHS and local authorities should be addressed in devolved and integrated systems.
