YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSir Keir Starmer has announced plans to abolish NHS England in a bid to cut government red tape and bureaucracy and bring the health service back under "democratic control."
The move will put the NHS "back at the heart of government where it belongs," Sir Keir said, "freeing it to focus on patients, less bureaucracy, with more money for nurses."
Describing NHS England as an "arms-length body", he said the move will allow the health service to "refocus" on cutting waiting times at "your hospital".
Abolishing NHS England will reduce "duplication", saving money that can then be spent on frontline services, the Prime Minister said.
As the public awaits developments, David Rowland, Director of the Center of Health and Public Interest joins Vanessa Feltz to discuss.
