Conclusion
We asked the Department how it was ensuring that the smaller earlier projects would not overrun and create a knock-on problem for the larger, more complex hospital projects in later years. NHS England told us that the reset had allowed it to revise the NHP’s governance arrangements, allowing for clearer and more agile oversight as well as more regular reports. This information could then be used to nudge other hospitals backwards or forwards to accommodate any movements in the timetable.12
