From 1 July 2022, it is expected that NHS England will become the sole employer and will be named NHS England thereafter. Regionally, it means that plans to form a new statutory organisation, NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care, can continue to progress as expected with a launch date of 1 July 2022.
