flag Health Secretary Wes Streeting demands urgent public service reform, citing outdated systems and bureaucracy.

flag Health Secretary Wes Streeting urged the UK government to take stronger action on public service reform, criticizing excessive regulations, bureaucratic delays, and overreliance on independent bodies. flag Speaking at the Institute for Government conference, he called for political leadership to build new levers, remove barriers, and act decisively, warning that inaction undermines public trust and fuels cynicism. flag Streeting emphasized the state’s capacity to transform lives and highlighted ongoing NHS inefficiencies, including the use of fax machines, as evidence of the need for modernization. flag His remarks, seen as a potential signal of leadership ambitions, were supported by Dame Louise Casey, who urged civil servants to adopt a “grip it and fix it” approach.
