timeGovernments are increasingly turning to private sector capacity to help shore up the NHS – but is this the right way to reduce waiting lists and improve services?

On Monday, Wes Streeting warned that the NHS would not receive extra funding from Labor without “significant surgery” or reforms, including greater use of the private sector.

The shadow health secretary has long been a strong supporter of NHS reform. He has previously called the health service “unfit for the modern era” and said “if the NHS doesn’t change it will die.”

His comments were met with outrage by campaign group Every Doctor, which said Streeting was “trying to make the case for unnecessary NHS reform and privatization by pitting one group of voters against another.” “.

Amid the heated back-and-forth debate, we want to know what you think. Is organizational reform in the NHS long overdue? Should private companies be involved in restructuring?

What changes would you make to the NHS to ensure it remains a useful part of British society?
