How serious is Labour about restructuring the state beyond the abolition of NHS England and the recent slashing of billions of pounds from Whitehall?

Keir Starmer promised to ‘cut bureaucracy across the state, focus government on the priorities of the working people and shift money to the frontline', but one radical proposal for civil service reform is simply gathering dust. It is a change that could help transform towns and cities across England. But instead, government is retaining the Whitehall status quo.
