Wes Streeting Cuts NHS HQ Staff Numbers In Half
Plans to cut staff numbers in half at NHS England and the Department of Health and Social Care were unveiled yesterday amidst extreme cost-cutting procedures.
The 'bonfire of bureaucrats' is aimed at removing duplication throughout the organisations after their workforces swelled during the pandemic.
Health secretary Wes Streeting is also seeking to tighten his control over the NHS, provide much better worth for taxpayers and free-up cash for the frontline.
Three more NHS England board members the other day revealed they will stop at the end of this month, following the current resignations of primary executive Amanda Pritchard and national medical director Professor Sir Stephen Powis.
The current leaders to join the exodus are Julian Kelly, the chief monetary officer, Emily Lawson, the chief operating officer, and Steve Russell, the chief delivery officer and national director for vaccination and screening.
NHS England is the national quango tasked with managing the everyday running of the health service and its long-term technique.
It was established by the Tories in 2013 to provide it higher political self-reliance however Mr Streeting is eager to gain back tighter control from within his Department.
NHS England said in a declaration: 'As part of the requirement to make best possible use of taxpayers' cash to support frontline services, the size of NHS England will be significantly lowered and could see the size of the centre reduction by around half.'
The deeper staffing cuts follow a decrease of about 4,000 to 6,000 staff members at NHS England over the previous two years and about 800 at the Department of Health and Social Care.
