Health Secretary Wes Streeting has called on doctors to collaborate with the government on proposed changes to the NHS, urging them to refrain from "sabre-rattling" regarding industrial action over pay disputes. Streeting's comments follow a critical report by Lord Ara Darzi, which highlighted that the current trajectory of the NHS, characterized by a "managed decline," is unsustainable. He emphasized that simply increasing taxpayer funding into a failing system is not a viable solution. The health secretary's appeal comes at a time when tensions between healthcare professionals and the government are high, as many doctors express concerns over pay and working conditions. Streeting's message is clear: a cooperative approach is essential to address the challenges facing the NHS effectively.
