he government recently announced plans to scrap NHS England in a bid to save money, reduce bureaucracy and funnel resources towards patient care.
In this issue of Health Business, we take a look at what this means for the NHS and what to expect going forward.
With the government continuing to invest in NHS infrastructure, we've got articles from the CFA looking at choosing the right flooring and from the Water Hygiene Centre discussing how to reduce Legionella risk.
We also shine a spotlight on NHS Property Service's new green plan, which is aiming for net zero carbon by 2040.
In technology, we investigate how a digital therapeutics toolkit is helping people with asthma and COPD in Wales.
We've also got a feature looking at staff safety, as well as a couple of framework explainers for those procuring technology and security services.
