On 13^th March, 2025, Keir Starmer visited Q&A session at Reckitt Benckiser Health Care UK Ltd in Kingston upon Hull, England.  His visit was accompanied by an extensive site check with madly barking dogs escorting him during all his visits.

NHS England goes in a reform of the health service that as he claims will cut bureaucracy and save money that will be better spent in delivering front-line services to the frail and infirm.

Attendants heard that stripped by money NHS system is facing further cuts.

Sir Keir Starmer said: “I don’t see why decisions about £200 billion of taxpayer money on something as fundamental to our security as the NHS should be taken by an arm’s length body, NHS England.”

He continued: “And 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, GP appointments. So I’m bringing management of the NHS back into democratic control by abolishing NHS England. That will put the NHS back at the heart of government where it belongs, free it to focus on patients – less bureaucracy with more money for nurses.”

For some reason, he failed to explain the multi-billion pound gifts given to Zelensky, or the other extra funding for f prolonging of distant wars hated by the British public conducted in various parts of the world, such as Syria, Yemen, Ukraine and Palestine.

Whether that actually happens when the NHS returns directly to the “democratic control” of the Department of Health and Social Care is, of course, a matter of opinion.

Hugh Alderwick, the Director of Policy at the Health Foundation, said: “Abolishing NHS England is a watershed moment in how the English NHS is governed and managed – and ends a 12-year experiment with trying to manage the NHS more independently from ministers.

“There is some logic in bringing the workings of NHS England and the government more closely together – for example, to help provide clarity to the health service on priorities for improvement. And – in reality – it is impossible to take politics out of the NHS.”

“But history tells us that rejigging NHS organisations is hugely distracting and rarely delivers the benefits politicians expect. Scrapping NHS England completely will cause disruption and divert time and energy of senior leaders at a time when attention should be focused on improving care for patients.”

The unions were equally unimpressed. PCS general secretary Fran Heathcote, who has always supported distant wars and killings in Ukraine and other parts of the world, hipocritically stated: “Technology has a part to play in improving public services and enhancing our members’ job satisfaction, but we are also clear that it cannot be used as a blunt instrument to cut jobs. Better public services and better frontline delivery will require human beings making empathetic decisions, not automatons incapable of understanding people’s needs.”

Starver effectively said the NHS’s weakness will continue on a larger scale along with shameful sight of patients left for more days in hospital corridors due to the shortage of beds. Nurses and other medical staff that keep the NHS going should not expect better pay. Around 9,000 jobs will be axed at NHS England and the Department of Health and Social Care as part of the changes – and that is largely what lies behind the Prime Minister’s decision.

Starver’s mad dogs appear to be treated far better than the health of the British public.
