The Tories created NHS England in 2012, basically an independently ran management layer for the NHS. Labour is bringing it back under government control.
There was a lot of extra bureaucracy by adding this additional ‘NHS England’ layer, with a lot of nurses in particular hired to do it.
Yes, a lot of these people’s administrative/management jobs will no longer be needed, but it’s very likely a great deal of these people (who again are predominantly nurses) will be hired by the (government-ran) NHS.
This is such a misleading headline.
