Sir Ed Davey has spoken out in support of Keir Starmer's decision to scrap NHS England. Speaking in Yorkshire on Thursday following the announcement, the Liberal Democrats leader said that while he supports the decision, more needs to be done. "The truth is it's not the big issue in the NHS - the big issue is getting more GPs and NHS dentists," Mr Davey said. Report by Kennedyl.
