Starmer announces abolition of NHS England
PM's move will ‘cause disruption and divert senior leaders' time and energy from improving care for patients,’ Health Foundation warns
SLASHER PM Sir Keir Starmer stepped up his cuts programme today with the abolition of NHS England, part of what he billed a restructuring of the state.
The Prime Minister’s move was denounced as “shambolic and ill thought-out” as thousands of workers risked losing their jobs.
NHS England, a statutory authority managing the health service across most of the country, is to have its functions merged into the health ministry headed by Wes Streeting.
