10:53Now PlayingJames O'Brien reflects on the new Health Secretary's comments on people out of work due to 'long-term sickness'.
He wonders if this is a change in tone from Labour - compared to the last Tory government - which will improve the appetite for people to get back into work.
Wes Streeting has announced that the NHS must cease its continual requests for additional funding and instead focus on driving economic growth by helping people return to work.
In his first address since being appointed as the Health and Social Care Secretary, Streeting asserted that it is time to "rethink" the NHS's role in the UK, declaring that the "begging bowl culture" within the health service must come to an end.
Streeting pledged to tackle the crisis of worklessness and stimulate economic growth, emphasising that the NHS and the Treasury will collaborate closely to reduce the nearly three million individuals on long-term sick leave, thereby boosting the economy.
