‘Some really daft things being done in the name of equality, diversity and
inclusion’, says Health Secretary

NHS staff boasted of their “anti-whiteness” stance, Wes Streeting has said in an
attack on “misguided” diversity and inclusion agendas.

The Health Secretary highlighted “some really daft things being done in the
name of equality, diversity and inclusion” which he said were setting back its
"cause".

“For example, there was one member of NHS staff who was merrily tweeting
a job ad online and saying part of her practice was anti-whiteness.


“And I just thought ‘what the hell does that say to the bloke up in Wigan
who’s more likely to die earlier than his more affluent white counterpart down
in London?’. We’ve got real issues of inequality that affect working-class
people.”

“The ideological hobby horses need to go,” the Health Secretary continued.



A new analysis found that 35 equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) roles
have been advertised since Sir Keir Starmer’s Government took power.

All but six of the positions allowed staff to work from home and some posts
offered salaries of more than £80,000.
