Britain’s far-left Labour government has admitted that DEI policies in the National Health Service (NHS) have an anti-white bias. Health Secretary Wes Streeting acknowledged that some diversity measures within the (NHS) have been counterproductive.
Streeting pointed to instances where actions taken in the name of equality, diversity, and inclusion were misdirected. He highlighted a case where an NHS staff member shared a job advertisement online, describing part of the role as involving “anti-whiteness.” Streeting questioned how such language might be perceived by the public, particularly those experiencing significant health inequalities linked to socio-economic status.
The Health Secretary indirectly referred to Dr. Florencia Gysbertha, an East London NHS psychologist, who last year circulated an advertisement for a trainee position emphasizing “anti-whiteness/anti-racist praxis.”
The NHS has faced previous criticism over issues of alleged anti-white sentiment. In 2021, the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, a leading purveyor or child gender transitions, hosted a seminar addressing “Whiteness – A problem for our time,” drawing international attention.
Further controversies arose when NHS emergency services were reported to prioritize asylum seekers and migrants over native Britons. Some migrants were able to jump healthcare lines while natives waited years for treatment.
Additionally, the NHS has been criticized for lowering entry standards for foreign nurses to address staffing shortages. Recently, it was revealed that 35 diversity roles, with salaries exceeding $99,500, have been advertised since July 2024 under the leftist Labour government.
