NHS England will be abolished as a standalone organisation, prime minister Keir Starmer has announced. “NHS staff are working flat out but the current system sets them up to fail. Many senior nurses and midwives currently work for NHS England in various roles. Christina McAnea, general secretary of Unison, said NHS England staff would be left “reeling” from the news. “Both the prime minister and the health secretary have said that abolishing NHS England will put more money into frontline services,” she said.
