Reacting to the news that NHS England is to be abolished, Prof Rowan Parks, President of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh said.
“Given that 12,500 of our members and fellows are based in England, we are naturally concerned of the potential impact the abolition of NHS England will have on surgical training and service delivery in England.
“It is very early days, so our priority will be to monitor the situation and engage with the Secretary of State and Department of Health & Social Care as events unfold. We will actively work with our members and fellows, NHS Trusts and policy makers to ensure our voice is heard and we support activity to improve patient outcomes and training opportunities.”
