Health and social care secretary Wes Streeting has been quizzed on whether nurses will lose their jobs due to the upcoming dissolution of NHS England. He asked the health secretary to “look me in the eye” and tell him that this would not happen. The health secretary said it “should not” happen because of the cost savings that would come from cutting bureaucracy. Mr Marr pressed the health secretary further, and Mr Streeting said in response: “Other jobs will also become available. “I’ve got to trust frontline leaders to do the right thing,” said Mr Streeting.
