Anas Sarwar, leader of Scottish Labour, proposed extensive NHS reforms during his speech at the party's conference, emphasizing a shift from bureaucratic management to frontline healthcare. He suggested cutting the number of health boards to three, highlighting the need for greater nurse and doctor presence. Sarwar also committed to addressing long-standing waiting times and introduced initiatives like an 'Amazon tax' for online retailers and banning mobile phones in schools to improve government efficiency. His vision aims to make the NHS more viable for the future through digital innovations and streamlined operations.
I will take on the top-heavy management that is holding the NHS back and deliver the biggest and most meaningful NHS reform in decades.
Put bluntly fewer managers, more nurses. Fewer chief executives and more doctors.
We will end the growing culture of bureaucracy. We will cut the number of health boards down to three, pushing power away from the boardrooms and to patients and staff on the frontline.
This focus on efficiency will ensure money is spent on nurses and doctors, not the bureaucrats and the penpushers.
