Former health secretary Jeremy Hunt says Andy Burnham could reform the NHS if he becomes PM
By
Jeremy Hunt
Summary
Former health secretary Jeremy Hunt argues that while he disagrees with Andy Burnham's politics, Burnham's experience as health secretary could uniquely position him to reform the NHS if he becomes prime minister. Hunt notes that the UK already spends the fifth most among OECD countries on health as a proportion of GDP, shifting the debate from funding to productivity. He suggests Burnham has an opportunity to transform the NHS from the world's most bureaucratic health service into its most innovative one.
