Interview with Kevin O’Sullivan on Talk Radio on the appointment of Sajid Javid as Health Secretary in England.
With him having experience as former Secretary of State for the Business Department and as former Chancellor he will come with a wider lens on the public purse.
We are still spending £2bn per month on furlough with 2 million people still on the scheme based on the latest estimates.
Easing restrictions to allow people to return will reduce the reliance on furlough which means more money for NHS backlog.
We are also in the midst of an NHS crisis of catching up on the backlog of waiting lists along with people who did not come forward the past year.
