Alan Milburn to be lead non-executive director of Department of Health and Social Care .

Ex-health secretary has caused disquiet at the DHSC and NHS England by attending meetings of both organisations despite having no formal role, such as that of a minister or special adviser.

It will formalise Milburn ’s longstanding status as a key adviser to Streeting as he seeks to drive through his promised “ three big shifts” in how the NHS operates.

Conservatives criticised the move as “jobs for the boys” and said it showed Labour view government business as a gravy train for your mates’.

Private hospitals already carry out up to 20% of all planned operations on NHS patients in some parts of England .

Wes Streeting wants to promote a two -tier health service by sending patients to the private sector.

This is an imitation of Alan Milburn’s approach under New Labour when he extended outsourcing of services.
