In November 2021 it was announced that the organisation would be merged with NHS England by April 2023. It was suggested that this would make responsibilities for workforce planning much clearer and make it easier to develop the workforce strategy needed to meet current and future demand for services.

The merger was completed in April 2023, and HEE become the new Workforce, Training and Education Directorate within the national NHS England organisation.
