Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting has said he would “hold the door wide open” to private sector entrepreneurs who can improve the NHS if the Labour Party enter Government. His remarks on the latest episode of i‘s podcast Labour’s Plan For Power came as his predecessors Alan Milburn and Andy Burnham clashed over just how much of a role outside firms should have in the health service. Mr Streeting told i that he wants to get “quite tough on NHS England” to drive reform using new technologies and encourage the body to be more open to bringing private-sector companies into the health service. “I want those entrepreneurs that are coming up with cutting-edge treatments and technologies to know that when they come up with a great idea that can deliver better outcomes for patients and better value for taxpayers’ money, they’re not going to struggle to get through the front door of the NHS,” he said. “We’re going to be holding the door wide open and encouraging them to come in.”
