The leaders of 18 NHS organisations - including the NHS Confederation, NHS Employers, NHS Clinical Commissioners and the Community Network - have written with unanimous support for a focused NHS Bill within the forthcoming Queen’s Speech.

They say a highly targeted Bill, as recommended by NHS England and Improvement, will help remove barriers that make it hard for NHS organisations to collaborate with each other and their many local partners. This collaboration is essential if the ambitions to improve people’s health and wellbeing set out in the NHS Long Term Plan are to be delivered.
