UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced plans to abolish NHS England to cut bureaucracy and return management of the health service to democratic control.
This decision follows criticism of NHS England's burdensome layers of bureaucracy and lack of accountability.
The move partially reverses a 2012 Conservative-led reorganisation that created NHS England to handle day-to-day operations.
Starmer argued that the state is overstretched and unfocused.
Shadow Health Minister Caroline Johnson questioned Labour's ability to manage NHS savings, citing its failure in running the health service in Wales.
This shift reflects the government's desire for more direct control of the NHS, given its importance to voters.
