A Labour government would “turn the NHS on its head”, shadow health secretary Wes Streeting will say as he argues reform is more important than pouring money into a health system “that isn’t working”.
The Labour leader, who promised to “bulldoze” his way through planning restrictions to build a new Britain, will continue to set out his stall on the airwaves on Wednesday morning. He is expected to say: “Be in no doubt about the scale of the challenge. In the longer term, the challenge of rising chronic disease, combined with our ageing society, threatens to bankrupt the NHS.“Pouring ever-increasing amounts of money into a system that isn’t working is wasteful in every sense.
“Achieving our mission will take time, investment, and reform. Reform is even more important than investment.” The party said it would task its Curriculum Review with bringing maths to life and directing teachers to show children how numeracy is used in the world around them – such as through household budgeting, currency exchange rates when going on holiday, sports league tables and cookery recipes.
It comes after Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced plans to introduce the Advanced British Standard – a new single post-16 qualification which will eventually replace A-levels and T-levels.
