Laura plays Streeting a clip where he previously said he wouldn't sack lots of managers. She puts it to him that is what he's currently doing with the reorganisation of the NHS.
Streeting replies by saying the amount of waste in the health service has driven him to this decision.

He says he thinks many people in the NHS would agree there's too much bureaucracy and the system is inefficient, adding this bureaucracy means a lot of people are set up to fail.

Streeting says he "can't sugar coat it", but there will be job losses.
