Wes Streeting's decision to appoint Alan Milburn as lead non-executive director at the DHSC aligns with his commitment to significant NHS reforms, despite concerns regarding public-private interests.
The Conservatives have criticized the appointment of Milburn as indicative of Labour's preference for rewarding allies, suggesting it reflects a failure to separate personal and government interests.
Milburn's background as a proponent of private healthcare reforms raises potential conflicts of interest, especially with his consultancy work, prompting scrutiny from various stakeholders.
As Streeting prepares to formalize Milburn's advisory role, the upcoming appointments at the DHSC board aim to bolster strategic leadership during critical shifts within the NHS.
