Independent Reconfiguration panel

The Independent Reconfiguration Panel (IRP) is the independent expert on National Health Service (NHS) service change[1] in England. Set up in 2003, the IRP advises the Secretary of State for Health on contested proposals for health service change in England. The IRP also offers informal support and guidance to the NHS and other organisations on achieving successful change.

The IRP is made up of experienced clinicians, managers and lay members who have wide-ranging expertise in clinical healthcare, NHS management, involving the public and patients, and handling and delivering successful changes to the NHS.[2] The panel is led by the IRP Chair and supported by the Secretariat.
