NHS backlog rises: Steve Barclay is not up to the job
10 Aug 2023
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to the NHS waiting list rising by another 100,000, Daisy Cooper MP, Liberal Democrat Health and Social Care spokesperson, said:
“This latest Conservative Health Secretary is not up to the job and owes the public an apology. He says his main focus has been bringing down the waiting list, but he is failing miserably, leaving millions in pain and discomfort.
"The NHS cannot take any more of this Conservative government. The NHS is being pushed to the brink through neglect, incompetence, and disregard for the needs of patients.
“This Conservative government should hang their heads in shame. Rishi Sunak needs to bring forward a proper plan to bring down waiting times as a matter of urgency.”
