    Yes progress often begins with sacking 30k employees

    The NHS sorely needs admin jobs doing. I know because i fucking do it everyday.

    Good admin saves the time of nurses and doctors to do clinical work. Its just as crucial as clinical work

    Those suggesting this is sensible have just drunk the cool aid

      You seem to believe that NHS England is the same as the NHS. It’s not.

      NHS England is a quango, created by the Tories, that added another layer of management to an already top-heavy organisation. Its goal was to detach the NHS further from the government in order to make it easier to privatise. By all objective accounts, NHS England has been a dead weight and an abject failure. It is not the only means available to administer the NHS, instead, it complicates administration due to a built-in bias in favour of privatisation.

      Now, it may be that your admin job is essential, but not all of them are, by any means. Those that are will get relocated to the actual NHS, not the quango.
