He vowed to bring back some training bursaries for nurses to tackle the staffing crisis.

And he is drawing up plans to dump some of the changes to the NHS brought in by his Tory predecessor Andrew Lansley in 2012.

He plans to tear up the requirement that NHS groups must compete with private firms for contracts.

Mr Hancock said this will slash red tape and cut costs.

He told the Huffington Post: “The legislation includes removing some of the legal requirements to go to tender where that isn’t appropriate.

“With time, it’s been shown that it’s better done a different way. I believe very strongly in the NHS free at the point of use, according to need not ability to pay, that it should be well funded.

“The central thrust is to try to remove some of the admin burdens and the overbearing legal requirements that have come as a consequence of the last set of reforms.”

And he also pledged to bring back nurses bursaries “in areas of shortage” and hinted that mature students could be given the cash to help them retrain.

The tech-loving Cabinet minister also boasted of his experience ushering in reforms and said he is the man to lead British politics out of the “rut” it is in.

He said: “I think I’ve proved in half a dozen ministerial portfolios latterly in health, that I can get sh*t done.

“I’m somebody who’s got loads of energy and optimism and can drive things through government.

“Making things happen is a really important part of leading a country. Because there’s a sense that we’re a bit stuck in a rut and certainly that politics is stuck in a rut.”
