Sick note speech: Sunak blaming British people for failures on NHS and economy

19 Apr 2024

EMBARGO: For Immediate Release

Responding to Rishi Sunak’s speech on “sick note culture”, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:

“This was a desperate speech from a Prime Minister mired in sleaze and scandal.

“Millions of people are stuck on NHS waiting lists, unable to get a GP appointment or struggling to access mental health support. 

“Rishi Sunak is attempting to blame the British people for his own government’s failures on the economy and the NHS and it simply won’t wash.”
