Conservatives react to NHS England abolishment

The opposition party have been reacting to the prime minister's announcement on Thursday that he will abolish NHS England.

Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Alex Burghart cast doubts over the decision, saying Sir Keir Starmer has yet to set out "how this is going to make life better for patients" or "how much money he is going to save by doing it".
