Wes Streeting accused of ‘chaotic and incoherent approach’ to NHS reform
Exclusive: thinktank report finds health secretary has failed to improve productivity, with the health service unlikely to meet its targets

From the Institute of Government, so worth taking seriously. But I'm not sure why you'd expect health productivity to be improving at this stage.

I agree about Integrated Care Boards, but the abolition of NHS England seems sensible. Not sure what difference the "chaotic announcement" makes there. And I think Reeves probably had a role in forcing that.

Some good news but it's being hidden for some reason.

The freeholders’ target was the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024, passed by the last Conservative government but only made possible by Labour authorisation.

In unleashing lawfare to torpedo this legislation, they probably sought to scare Starmer’s administration into abandoning its manifesto commitment to end leasehold for good via commonhold.

The elite landowners weaponised the Human Rights Act and the European Convention on Human Rights to save a property system that makes England and Wales international pariahs and gifts outside landlords, or freeholders, the whip hand over flat owners who are mere tenants in the law.
