Health secretary Wes Streeting has sworn that he will explain the war to NHS 'Wokery' and 'Nonsense' – while the chairman has branded parts of the service 'unsafe'.
Mr. Streeting said that the health service 'stopped doing Daft-Zonerzin', such as the deletion of the word 'woman' from 'many NHS documents' and a staff member tweeted that her task concerned 'anti-whiteness'.
He said that the NHS “it can't afford to be distracted by ideologists” and writing in the sun on Sunday: “I told the NHS to return to basics.”
Instead, the NHS will concentrate on the 'Fundamentals', Mr Streeting said. He added that this would include that the waiting times for operations, A&E and ambulances would be cut, and it would also make it easier to see a general practitioner or NHS doctor and improve the mental health of the nation.
In the meantime, departing chairman of NHS England has warned that he calls the health service unsafe, sclerotically and warned of sewerage in hand basins.
Richard Meddings also damaged crumbling hospital infrastructure, bureaucratic inefficiencies and financial limitations that departments have left unsafe and stranded patients.
Mr Meddings, who resigned in October under pressure from the health secretary, said that he was 'disappointed' and 'apparent' was to leave his role.
During his term of office, he witnessed the terrible circumstances of NHS facilities, including situations in which hospitals had to close operational theaters and departments for safety risks.

'I can't remember the number of incidents we have had where we have closed the operating theaters or departments because they have become unsafe. You have a number of hospitals where your sewage water comes through the sink. It can't be, “he said.
The backlog of maintenance in the NHS has risen to no less than £ 13.8 billion, more than doubled in less than a decade.
This capital deficiency has exacerbated the challenges in providing effective patient care, whereby meddings indicate a serious shortage of beds. He emphasized that the English population has grown by 15 percent since 2000, while the number of hospital beds has shrunk by a third.
'Go to [an emergency department] And you will see papier-tissue-dunne fragile older people lie in the cabins or sometimes on trolleys waiting to be admitted, “he told the Sunday Times.
'We can't admit them – one, because of the bed cut, but two, can we get them out on the other side? So much of that waiting time comes from the fact that you cannot flow through the hospitals, “he said.
Mr. Meddings is mainly frustrated by the layers of bureaucracy in the approval of NHS, and describes it as 'sclerotic'.
He pointed out the promise by Boris Johnson to build 40 hospitals, for which ministerial registration was needed for expenditure of more than £ 500,000.
'It feels like the government is a series of concentric circles of negative control. When you go through a large program, you have several sign-offs at very low spending levels.

'On the one hand, that is wise, because you have to spend the money wisely, but on the other hand it is sclerotic.
'There is a bias that thinks that financial control is spreading money in small packages. In reality, it can undermine financial control because it extends the project and you present a greater risk of inflation or other challenges. You do not perform on pace. '
While Chancellor Rachel Reeves assigned an extra £ 22.6 billion for NHS daily expenditure, Meddings warned that the increase in the national insurance policies would indirectly cost the NHS, about £ 2 billion in support.
'There is an indirect but real impact. It's like water seeping under the door, “he said.
Mr Meddings, a former director of Credit Suisse, Standard Chartered and TSB, was appointed in 2022 as the NHS England chairman by Sajid Javid, the conservative health secretary.
He was appointed with a four-year contract, but will now leave his position in early March in the midst of widespread claims that Mr Streeting would like to replace him by a laborist of the previous spell of the party in the government under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown to Give the government more control over NHS England.
Figures proposed as possible replacements for Mr. Meddings are former Labor Health Secretary Alan Milburn, former Minister of the Interior Jacqui Smith and Sally Morgan, the political secretary of Tony Blair.
