Wes Streeting’s ‘high stakes’ abolition of NHS England will cut 10,000 jobs

Reforms proposed by health secretary predicted to save as much as £500m but could be distraction for ministers

Wes Streeting has ordered a “high stakes” reorganisation of the NHS that will scrap 10,000 jobs in an attempt to free up cash for frontline care.
