Wes Streeting, the health secretary, faced a humorous moment during a Sky News interview when he was unexpectedly compared to Elon Musk regarding government efficiency.
Streeting acknowledged the serious intention behind naming and shaming failing NHS hospitals, stating that managers will be held accountable if patient care does not improve.
He clarified the measures included in the initiative, emphasizing the government’s commitment to addressing poor performance through league tables and possible job losses.
When asked about similarities in their approaches, Streeting replied, laughing, 'That was not the comparison I was expecting this morning,' highlighting his surprise.
