00:00So today I can announce we're going to cut bureaucracy across the state, focus government
00:06on the priorities of working people, shift money to the frontline. So I'm bringing management of
00:12the NHS back into democratic control by abolishing the arm's-length body NHS England. That will put
00:21the NHS back at the heart of government where it belongs, freeing it to focus on patients.
