Sir Keir Starmer has announced NHS England will be abolished to “cut bureaucracy” and bring the management of the health service “back into democratic control”.
The Prime Minister said decisions about billions of pounds of taxpayer policy should not be taken by an “arms-length” body as he vowed to implement sweeping reforms that the Government says will deliver better care for patients. He has taken aim at a “cottage industry of checkers and blockers slowing down delivery for working people” while arguing the state has become bigger but weaker.
