Andrew Lansley makes his opening speech in Parliament as Secretary of State for Health
On 2 June Andrew Lansley made his opening speech in Parliament as Secretary of State for Health. He stated the need to change from a ‘command-and-control, top down system’ to ‘one that is built on standards of delivering quality’. He also spoke about the McKinsey Report that was published on the same day – a report stating that ‘on average, something like 10% of those employed by a provider of health care with 300 staff should be taken away, mostly clinical staff’. This report was not made public by the previous administration.
