      Honestly, nothing much of value in that comment, just a long winded version of “labour=Tories=republicans=MAGA so Labour bad”

      Despite how a lot of articles about this are worded, this isn’t just another tory-esque NHS cut. NHS England is an independent governing body for the NHS created by the Tories about a decade ago. It’s job was effectively to delegate responsibility for NHS management decisions away from the government.

      So whether this ends up helping or harming the NHS will basically come down to how smoothly the important roles from NHS England can be covered by the civil service, and how well the health secretary is able to utilise the more direct control over the NHS that he’ll inherit.
