In this week’s podcast we discuss how the government’s health and social care legislation plans are changing — both in substance and in context.
That includes government concessions on some crucial legal details, ministers’ new priorities for the service, getting to grips with implementation, and what the change in NHS England’s chief executive chief might mean.
Featuring Sharon Brennan, Dave West and Annabelle Collins.
