NHS England, the body overseeing the activities of the British National Health Service, is to be scrapped. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the move aims to cut unnecessary bureaucracy.
I am aware they’re not dismantling healthcare now. Bureaucracy is a common excuse for a crawling privatisation. They’ll optimise here, cost reduce there. Once bureaucracy is gone it’s easy to remove context and say we just can’t afford those expensive treatments (“Overstretched, unfocused, trying to do too much, doing it badly,”). Social contracts will be broken and people will vote for fascists.
They aren’t axing healthcare rather the bureaucracy that oversees it and isn’t doing a good job.
