LONDON, England: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced plans to abolish National Health Service (NHS) England, aiming to integrate its functions directly into the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). This restructuring seeks to eliminate job duplication between the two entities, resulting in a 50% reduction in staff. The government asserts that this move will cut bureaucracy and redirect resources towards hiring more nurses and doctors, for example. The dental industry’s response, however, has been less than enthusiastic.
