I wonder which 10yhp proposals will be put on ice in order to keep the bill "focused"

We will have a listen. April after Easter sounds likely, then, with scope to slide further as ever!
Some have been talking it up and hoping for much sooner; others suggesting it's getting abandoned altogether.

Maybe some proposals will get a bit of trailing/consultation in advance

'unlikely before Easter' was last I heard - but they are definitely still working away at it

the Nye Bevan quote was that the NHS legislation would cause "a public megaphone will be put in the mouth of every complainant" - which rather sounds like the purpose of HW - although presumably Wes's argument is that's now replaced the technology etc

A mention for "the HSJ" (thanks) from Wes with reference to that fact they could not consult on how to do their big restructure, because it would leak.

[Surely, like most consultations, they could announce the general intent then consult on details and timeline?]

@rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social also says he's continuing with NHSE abolition: "I won't back down on that"
