Health Acts to be consolidated

The 14 Acts of Parliament that govern the NHS are to be consolidated into two Acts — one for England and one for Wales

There will be no substantive changes to NHS law and recent statutes on quality and standards that overlap with social care and on regulating health professions will be excluded.
