NHS sparks anger after spends millions creating 244 new 'woke' jobs: 'Focus on treating sick patients!'

The NHS is creating hundreds of new diversity and inclusion roles, with critics telling the organisation to “focus on treating sick people in hospitals”.

The creation of three new departments has been proposed: Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, People and Culture, and People and Communities, with 244 posts across the three teams.

The move has left Health Secretary Steve Barclay “frustrated”, after he ordered the NHS to get rid of specific diversity and inclusion roles in March.

He said these roles should instead be covered by “normal management processes” as part of efforts to “ensure good value for money”.

Barclay intends to summon health officials to demand an explanation for the departments, which he believes to be enforcing “woke doctrines”.

In plans seen by the Telegraph, almost £14million has been allocated to the new departments.

177 new staff members will receive a salary of over £50,000.

This includes 18 senior roles up for grabs which have six-figure salaries.

The move comes amid soaring NHS waiting lists, with 7.7 million people – around one in seven people - currently waiting for treatments.
