Streeting brings NHS reform playbook to the Ministry of Defence

New Defence Secretary Wes Streeting told the AGF Defence Summit at Farnborough he will apply his Department of Health reform programme to the Ministry of Defence, vowing to cut procurement waste. "Investment without modernisation is irresponsible," he said. The pledge follows a $20 billion boost to UK military spending and the resignation of defence minister Al Carns over MoD "unbelievable" waste.
