UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday announced plans to abolish NHS England.
Starmer stated that he wants to bring the National Health Service, NHS, “back into democratic control.”
The decision comes as the NHS, which provides free healthcare to nearly the entire population, faces increasing criticism over long waiting lists and various medical scandals.
“I’m bringing management of the NHS back into democratic control by abolishing the arms-length body NHS England,” Starmer said.
NHS England was established in 2012 under former Conservative Health Secretary Andrew Lansley.
Speaking during a visit to the eastern English city of Hull, Starmer said: “Overstretched, unfocused, trying to do too much, doing it badly.
“I can’t, in all honesty, explain to the British people why they should spend their money on two layers of bureaucracy.
“That money could and should be spent on nurses, doctors, operations, and GP appointments,” he added.
