NHS will not be saved by diverting funds, campaigners tell Streeting

THE NHS will not be saved by diverting funds or by increasing privatisation, health campaigners warned today.

New Health Secretary Wes Streeting was challenged after he pledged to “fix the front door” to the NHS and redirect funding from hospitals to GP surgeries earlier this week.

During a tour of the Abbey Medical Centre in London, Mr Streeting said that he will “reverse” the trend of GPs and primary care receiving a smaller proportion of NHS resources.
