Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced this week that NHS England ( NHSE ) is to be disbanded.

BBC looks at whether the changes present a new opportunity to improve patient safety within the NHS .

NHS trusts have complained about total control that NHSE , the body responsible for the day-to-day running of the health service in the country, exerted over their actions.

The NHS used to have a world-leading organisation, the National Patient Safety Agency , which was admired globally for its sole focus on improving patient outcomes.

The organisation was abolished in 2012 and subsumed into NHS England .

But experts say the reorganisation could set back patient safety in the short term.
