Prime Minister claimed that his choice would bring provision back under democratic control.
As a result of the decision made by the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, to scrap NHS England on Thursday, it is estimated that up to 10,000 staff may lose their jobs.
Starmer’s address was extremely critical of the public sector’s performance. He stated that a significant increase in the number of employees had not been successful.
Through his decision, the Prime Minister claimed that his choice would bring provision back under “democratic control.” NHS England is responsible for overseeing both general practitioner and hospital services.
Ministers have referred to the organization as the “world’s largest quango,” and Health Secretary Wes Streeting has announced that he will immediately take significant action to curtail its operations.
The National Health Service (NHS) England is responsible for more than £190 billion in annual spending for healthcare and employs 15,000 people.
Over the next two years, the Department of Health will take over its functions and reduce headcount by 9,000 people. It is unclear how many will be transferred to other departments.
Mr. Streeting stated that savings of “hundreds of millions of pounds” would occur.
