The NHS must 'reform or die', Keir Starmer has warned.
Sir Keir has formally given backing to his shadow health secretary's reforms to effectively nationalise GP services.
They included getting rid of "bureaucratic nonsense" to allow patients to bypass GPs and self-refer themselves to specialists. The pledges have echoes of New Labour's 1997 promises, when Sir Tony Blair swept into power on the back of a manifesto vowing to slash NHS waiting times and make the service more patient-focused.But Sir Keir said it was time to accept that the system needed overhauling, with the pressure on GP surgeries causing more people to resort to attending hospital instead.
