Recommendation 12

UKHSA's complexity compounded by changing remit and significant workforce reduction post-pandemic strategy.
Conclusion
The complexity was compounded by the changing remit for UKHSA and by policy decisions which had significant implications for UKHSA’s size and structure. For example, in March 2022 with the implementation of the ‘living with covid’ strategy, UKHSA began a restructure which resulted in it decreasing its workforce from 18,000 to 6,700 full-time equivalents.
