'These changes represent the greatest reshaping of the NHS's nationwide architecture in more than a years. It is very important that regional NHS organisations and other bodies are involved in this change as the immediate next steps end up being clearer, so that an optimum operating design can be created.

'This should be about doing things differently for the benefit of local communities as both patients and taxpayers, in addition to for staff ahead of annual study results on Thursday that are yet once again expected to show the severe difficulties they face.'
