NEW: NHS England staff could be moved into a separate national NHS agency, HSJ has learnt. Burnham and Cooper are thought to be less keen than their predecessors to centralise more functions in the DHSC, but do not want to U-turn on the abolition.

Legal aid reforms in #KingsSpeech will increase the number of legally aided inquests from 400 to 11,400 a year. Costing £185 million.
Finally ending the inequality of arms where NHS Trusts turn up with a phalanx of lawyers against still grieving families often alone and confused

This, I suspect, may be the prelude to further intervention by NHS England at East Kent Hospitals.

Would like to understand why this happened. Was it a lack of awareness of the need to report suspected, but not confimed, cases? What level of suspicion is enough to justify reporting? Or was the A&E just overwhelmed and this got overlooked?

Yep - four ambulances with them now are on loan. We’re funding permanent replacements, too. That means that the money being donated will deliver over and above what they had before the attack: stronger, not weaker. Hate can’t win.

The Nottingham Inquiry opened today with a statement over 100 pages long from Counsel to the Inquiry Rachel Langdale KC. Some interesting early observations about Valdo Calocane's treatment in the NHS and the NHS/ emergency response (that will be explored in much more detail).
