Alan Milburn tells NHS to end its more, more, more culture’ and accept radical reform.

Patients must have more choice over treatment and GPs, he argues.

NHS crisis is “ a million times worse” than when he was in office, he says.

Wes Streeting , the health secretary, will give NHS its “marching orders” on spending.

Milburn said Britain needed a Dunkirk -spirit moment for the NHS , where the whole nation pulls together’ to improve the service and deal with a rise in long-term sickness that means a record 2.8 million people are off work.

A ten-year plan due in the spring will set out how Streeting aims to shift towards digitally-run services that focus on preventing ill health and moving care closer to home.
