Keir Starmer announced the abolition of NHS England, a body created during Andrew Lansley’s significant NHS reorganization efforts under the Conservative coalition. The Health and Social Care Act of 2012 restructured the NHS to improve decision-making by removing politics from everyday operations and delegating powers to GPs and clinical commissioning groups. However, the act's introduction of increased private sector involvement and budget control to independent GPs faced severe criticism, as many viewed it as a step towards privatisation, particularly during budget austerity, ultimately leading to the conclusion that the changes were a disaster for the NHS.
The changes introduced by Andrew Lansley represented the biggest reorganisation in the history of the NHS, a shift aimed at improving decision-making but widely criticized.
Critics of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 condemned it as a path towards privatisation, with the British Medical Association calling it the end of the NHS as we know it.
