Downing Street rejected the call for a royal commission, insisting the reforms being implemented by the Government would improve outcomes. Writing in The Times, Mr Javid said a “dispassionate and honest assessment” of the NHS is required to “make sure the NHS is here in another 75 years”. Mr Javid added: “Now is the time for the national interest to come to the fore with a collective mandate for reform. “There is still something like 600-plus fax machines being used in the NHS, there is some 80,000 pagers. “There’s no plans for a royal commission or things like that.
