The committee argued over the Government’s plan to fold NHS England into the Department of Health, with ministers saying it would make the Health Secretary clearly accountable and save up to about £1 billion a year, while MPs pressed for fuller costings and warned of greater political control. Members also disputed whether the Bill should do more on health inequalities, patient choice, innovation and workforce planning, with ministers saying existing duties were enough and critics saying the changes were too weak or too centralised.

MPs examined clauses that would put NHS workforce planning under the Health Secretary and give ministers more power over local NHS decisions, including the use of private providers and the removal of integrated care board chief executives. Opposition MPs said the Bill could centralise too much power and weaken safeguards, while the Government argued the new powers are needed for accountability, flexibility and future reform.

Ministers argued that bringing NHS England back into the Department of Health and Social Care would cut duplication and improve accountability, but MPs pressed for clearer evidence on savings, redundancy costs, the future leadership model, and safeguards for patients, staff, local accountability and social care links.

Lords speakers warned that people with severe ME face patchy NHS support and a wait until at least April 2027 for decisions on specialist services; the Government said its ME/CFS delivery plan is under way, with a progress update due next month, research funding in place, and interim support for the most serious cases still being considered.

The Leader of the House set out the Commons timetable, while MPs used business questions to seek ministerial action on NHS corridor care, civil service pensions, coastguard pay, threatened bus routes, planning disputes, asylum and GP problems, post office closures and hospice funding; Sir Alan Campbell said several issues would be referred to departments, but no new debate or policy change was announced.

The Science, Innovation and Technology Committee said UK research and development investment remains too concentrated in London, the south-east and the Oxford-Cambridge-London corridor, and warned that the Government’s refusal to adopt a clear regional monitoring framework leaves gaps in tracking whether innovation spending supports towns, devolved nations and areas with poorer health outcomes.

MPs from across parties said victims and bereaved families still face slow payments, difficult evidence demands and unfair treatment of some claims; the Minister said more than £2.1bn has been paid and set backstops for most infected people to be paid by the end of 2027 and most affected people by the end of 2029.

Liz Twist and other MPs argued that mental health is still not treated on a par with physical health, citing large waiting lists, child delays and funding gaps; the Minister said NHS mental health spending would reach £16.1bn in 2026-27, budgets would be protected in real terms for three years, and a new all-ages mental health strategy for England is due later this year.
