U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has declared that the National Health Service (NHS) must undergo major reforms or face collapse, following a critical report by former Health Secretary Ara Darzi. The report, which found the NHS in 'critical condition', cited issues such as long wait times, outdated facilities, and high mortality rates.
