in theory, nhs england runs the legendary nhs.because the government has held to account for the running of the nhs. the health secretary, in theory, is going to take more power back with some reforms going through government at the moment. but is the current new health secretary keen on that idea? if not him, who does hold full account? whenever the question is posed, who is responsible for what? who is in charge for what? be it the bbc, a football club, the nhs, there's trouble ahead. it has not been clear for a long time the divisions of responsibility. the covid press briefings that used to happen in the uk twice or three times a week, there was never one where there was a health secretary and the head of nhs england standing together, because they wouldn't be sure which of the two should answer the questions. they are both theoretically responsible for a lot of it. terrifying to give contradictory answer. or both started speaking at the same time. so these blurred lines will be a big issue on reflecting on what happens next w
