Steve Barclay has now been replaced as being the Secretary of State for both health and social care. If you work as part of a nurse agency or if you are signed up with a nursing recruitment agency and are seeking carers jobs and care jobs then you will know what a huge step this is. Rishi Sunak has said that Victoria Atkins is now at the top role for DHSC and at the top of the agenda seems to be the ongoing industrial action. Mr Barclay has been replaced when Mr Sunak won the leadership election. Ms Atkins has served as the financial secretary for the treasury for quite some time. She did this before her new appointment which is said to be a huge promotion for her. The reshuffle was triggered by the firing of the home secretary. Suella Braverman who, when you look at the last few weeks, has made national headlines because of the comments that she made about the people who are homeless currently. Professor Nicola Ranger has come out to say that she must have her priorities right and that she needs to make sure that she is able to secure funding for the NHS autumn statement. The current settlement seems to be penalising patients as well as those who are on waiting lists. They are now being told that they have to wait even longer for treatment. At the end of the day, more investments have to be made to try and make sure that there is a major improvement here. Victoria Atkins has to raise morale for the workforce and she also has to make some urgent moves so that more improvements can be made going forward. Only time will tell what the future holds right now but so far it’s looking bright.
