NHS England wants 18 month time frame for the implementation of health devolution deals
A paper to be presented to the NHS England board this week outlined proposed principles and decision criteria for devolution deals.
Within this 18 month time frame, a clear business case would have to be made, as well as possible pilots of the devolved functions, which could be especially important for areas of large or complex geographies.
The paper reads: “NHS England’s preferred option would be to take about 18 months from expression of interest in devolution by a particular geography to implementation of devolution arrangements, along the lines of the trajectory set out by Greater Manchester. This would include submission of a clear outline business case (that would be subject to the outline principles and decision criteria above), and any change in statutory accountabilities would need to be prefigured in a formal arrangement such as the joint signing of a MOU and shadow running of the devolved functions in the new body. In particularly large or complex geographies, piloting in a selected sector of the area concerned may be required.”
