Streeting’s ‘shock’ at scale of NHS struggles inspires big political gamble

Streeting’s ‘shock’ at scale of NHS struggles inspires big political gamble Health secretary consistently rejected notion of axing NHS England on the basis of legal challenge he must now tackle Since Labour won power last July, Keir Starmer has repeatedly affirmed his deep affection for the NHS, close family ties to it, intention to “fix” it – and also his determination to change it. In a speech last September, he said the health service in England is in such dire straits that “it’s reform or die” and his government’s plans to overhaul how it works “could amount to the biggest reimagining of our NHS since its birth” in 1948.

The Guardian view on the abolition of NHS England: political cover for a funding fight | Editorial

The Guardian view on the abolition of NHS England: political cover for a funding fight | Editorial Labour’s health service shake-up aims to cut waste and shift resources, but the looming funding gap raises doubts about its impact Sir Keir Starmer cast his decision to abolish NHS England – the world’s largest quango – as a bold strike against bureaucracy. The move is designed to cut waste, “shift money to the front line” and put the English NHS under democratic control.
